Plot

Upon learning that Darla's father owns a circus, Spanky and Alfalfa try their best to impress Darla, hoping to land circus jobs. Never letting the facts get in the way of a good story, Alfalfa claims that he is an expert bear tamer, who uses his "magnetic personality" to hypnotize wild bears into submission. Overhearing this, Darla's dad decides to teach Alfalfa and Spanky a lesson, and to that end he disguises himself as a bear. cite web |url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/73840/Bear-Facts/overview |title=New York Times: Bear Facts |accessdate=2008-09-21|work=NY Times]
