On a school wide field trip, the Jones family pets (Elvis the Pug and Crazy the Cat) accompany the elementary students on their day long field trip to The Jones Family Farm.

But then, after the lunch break, a group of kids gets lost in the enormous woods. Trying to find their way back before the school buses depart, the children – with Elvis and Crazy – are suddenly confronted by a hungry black bear.
