A narrator retells Little Red Riding Hood, folded together with the gingerbread ball tale, as one of Masha's stories. Red Riding Hood sets off through the forest to her sick grandmother, meets a talking gingerbread, and runs into the big bad wolf, who eats the grandmother, the girl and the gingerbread in turn. The wolf's overstuffed belly then bursts and everyone jumps out safely, while the gingerbread rolls off and is finally eaten by a fox. The narrator ends with lessons about not telling strangers where you are going and visiting your family more often.

Autumn arrives and the Bear prepares his cabin for hibernation, settling into bed for a long sleep. Masha discovers he is shutting himself away and keeps finding her way back inside, bouncing on the bed and accidentally knocking over a row of beehives that send a swarm chasing them. To calm her down the Bear cooks a pot of porridge and feeds her at the table. The episode closes with Masha falling asleep mid-spoonful, the Bear carrying her to bed and the camera resting on the moonlit forest where a deer watches from outside the window.

In a Russian forest, the energetic girl Masha discovers an old ambulance where two wolves live, while the wolves scheme to trade her to the brown bear for a barrel of honey. Masha turns the ambulance into a doctor's office and insists on treating the wolves, chasing them with checkups and pretend medicine until they flee. The comedy plays out mostly through fast action and sound effects rather than dialogue. By the end the wolves' plan falls apart and Masha carries honey to the bear.

Masha takes the Bear's old mobile phone and heads into the forest to make calls while he tries to enjoy a football match and a relaxation show on television. Her wandering leads to comic run-ins, including a tense pause when a grey wolf blocks her path, and the Bear repeatedly scrambles as his quiet afternoon falls apart. The action plays out in the Bear's trophy-filled house and along sunny forest trails. After the story the credits roll, then a bonus segment shows Masha as a detective searching a video screen and inviting the viewer to look up more episodes.

In a snowy forest, the lively girl Masha gets hold of Bear's first-aid kit and then his red snowmobile, setting off a runaway ride full of crashes, near-misses and a pack of wolves.

In the end the pair make it home, and Masha admits her mistake, saying she will never do it again and accepting a spell in the corner. The closing scene has Masha dressed as a detective, using a tablet to search for cartoons and telling viewers to try it themselves.
