In the deep jungles of Peru, a British explorer discovers two members of a rare, unknown species of bear, and learns that they are intelligent, capable of human speech, and have a deep fondness for marmalade.

He names them Lucy and Pastuzo and gives them his hat as he leaves, telling them that they are always welcome in London.

About 40 years later, after Pastuzo is killed by an earthquake, Lucy encourages their orphaned nephew to travel to London while she moves into the Home for Retired Bears.
