Ostrovčeky Tichého oceánu v tridsiatych rokov minulého storočia. Medveď Balú pracoval ako pilot lietadla v neprosperujúcej pacifickej leteckej spoločnosti. Keď firma skrachuje, ustarostený a nešťastný Balú zostane bez práce aj lietadla. Pomocnú ruku mu podá šikovná obchodníčka Rebecca Cunninghamová s dcérou Molly. Kúpia lietadlo, najmú ho ako pilota a rozbehnú sľubný biznis v oblasti logistiky, prepravy nákladov a poštových služieb na tichomorských ostrovoch. Z medveďa Balú sa stane letecký doručovateľ pošty a nákladov v Pacifiku. Ich vzťahy sú spočiatku veľmi premenlivé, ale stále viac sa upevňujú, predovšetkým po každom šťastne sa končiacom dobrodružstve. A o tie nebude núdza. Lenivý, trocha sebecký a do seba zahľadený pilot Balú však miluje divoké dobrodružstvá a na svojom novom lietadle ich zažije do sýtosti aj so svojimi novými priateľmi.
