With the help of what he learned from a Native American boy and an accommodating mother raccoon, young Daniel Boone escapes danger when a bear steals his coonskin cap.
When artist Chester Harding asks Daniel Boone to pose for a portrait, Boone puts on his buckskin britches just like he wore in the wilderness of Kentucky, but when asked about the whereabouts of his coonskin cap, Boone tells a tall tale like only he can tell.
