Bongo est un petit ours, vedette d'un cirque, qui malgré ses nombreux numéros et l'accueil du public ne supporte plus sa vie. Selon le narrateur, il serait capable de jongler sur un trapèze et de faire l'équilibriste, mais il est maltraité par ses maîtres et placé dans une cage trop étroite. Un jour, lors d'un trajet en train, sa conscience lui rappelle sa nature sauvage et le goût de la liberté. Il secoue les barreaux de sa cage jusqu'à briser le cadenas et s'échappe sur son monocycle vers une forêt. Il y rencontre plusieurs animaux. Cherchant à imiter ces animaux sauvages, dont deux tamias qui grimpent à un arbre, Bongo provoque leurs rires. Mais il profite de sa liberté et se prélasse dans une prairie de marguerites, admirant le paysage. Il se promène dans la montagne et reste avec les animaux jusqu'à la tombée de la nuit. Alors que les autres sont endormis, Bongo passe une nuit agitée par l'irruption d'une chenille, d'un mille-pattes, d'un coyote, de moustiques puis d'un orage avec ses éclairs et son tonnerre. En pleine nuit, il part sur son monocycle à la recherche d'un endroit plus calme et parvient à dormir. Son réveil est brutal quand il s'aperçoit qu'il était au bord d'une falaise. Affolé, il cherche à s'en aller sur son monocycle mais un éternuement le repousse vers le précipice. Il parvient toutefois à survivre.
