An old teddy bear recalls his life, beginning as a birthday present, later shared by two boys separated under European bombardment, companion to the daughter of an American soldier whose life he had saved, battered by nasty boys, trashed, and restored as a collector's item displayed in an antique shop. The moving denouement re-unites the two men, who as boys were separated by war's travails.
