Plot

Four boy-penguins are curious about an abandoned cabin. Their mother warns them in song that "curiosity killed the cat."

But inside the cabin, they find themselves in danger: two of them fiddle with a kettle of hot water and get hurt. One of them gets hurt when trying to operate a gramophone record, one wants to touch pepper but sneezes every time he gets near it, one fiddles with a gun and accidentally gets his beak stuck in it, though he later gets it freed. Eventually, a penguin from the group plays with matchsticks and in the process, fire is accidentally created. The fire comes to life and attacks him. The penguin who was playing with the gun, accidentally makes it start shooting around. A bullet from the gun hits a box of signal flares, causing it to fall near the fire and, upon being lit, all the flares start flying around the house, causing extreme mayhem. Finally, one flare sends all the penguins flying out of the house and high into the sky. They all fall back into the snow and when their mother comes again, they apologize and say in unison, "We promise never ever to be curious again." The four penguins are forgiven, but then a mound of snow moving along catches the attention of all five penguins and rises up, revealing that it is a polar bear. The bear roars ferociously, causing the penguins to run away in fear.
