Norm, the Polar Bear is the son of the King Of The Arctic. In his youth, he develops the ability to speak to humans, a trait shared by his Grandfather. Because of this, he is made an outcast from the other animals, only being accepted by Socrates, a wise bird, and Elizabeth, a female polar bear whom Norm has fallen in love with.
Years later, Norm's grandfather has disappeared and human tourists are filling the Arctic. Socrates shows Norm and three Arctic Lemmings a luxury condo that has been installed on the ice. Inside this condo is Vera a representative for wealthy developer Mr. Greene. After Norm saves Vera from the avalanche, Mr Greene tells her to find an actor to play a Polar Bear for their campaign. Socrates convinces Norm and the three lemmings to stow away on a ship to New York City.
