After another ambush, having killed a she-bear who attacked the hunter, the huntsman brings a live trophy, the bear cub Masha, into the house and settles him in with the other cubs living in his enclosure. The bear cub Antoshka becomes very attached to Masha. Chance helps them escape into the forest. After some time, the number of victims begins to grow. Timofey guesses who is to blame for everything and “causes fire on himself”...
