The soldiers raise the bear, named Voytek, and eventually enlist him as a soldier to ensure he stays with the company.Voytek travels with the soldiers from Iran to Italy, and then on to Scotland. His mischief gets him into trouble along with way, but he also provides some unexpected encouragement for the soldiers amidst the reality of war: Voytek learns to carry bombs for the company, saves the camp from a spy, and keeps them constantly entertained with his antics.
