Alle helfen Teddy 1960

At night in a kindergarten, all the toys sleep except the bunny on watch. A raging storm bursts the window open, and rain threatens a little teddy bear on the sill. The bunny leaps to help but slips, injuring its paw and waking the grumpy monkey. Seeing the danger, the monkey springs into action, extending the fire-engine ladder but accidentally dropping the bunny onto the elephant’s trunk. The monkey climbs the trunk, shuts the window flap, and rescues the shivering teddy by helicopter. With Teddy safe, the toys settle back to sleep.
