In a tranquil Manhattan townhouse, where the jazz is mellow and the tailoring is impeccably sharp like a switchblade, resides a refined bear who appreciates the finer things in life. Unusually, his companion is a witty pigeon, as the story unfolds introducing our subtle hero.

They are on the verge of executing an exquisite art recovery for the ages. Whether it’s at a brownstone or beach house, a polo match or a gala, they will be providing attire to socialites and security personnel alike. All without uttering a single word. And when the lights go out and the artwork disappears, only one name will be spoken – Polo Bear.

Take a look at the video provided and anticipate the release of the entire movie titled “The Polo Bear Chronicles: Operation Black Tie” on YouTube this coming Thursday, August 14.
