A bumbling, timid tiger overhears humans talking and mistakenly believes that dried persimmons (Gojgam) are terrifying monsters. One fateful night, he encounters a thief in the dark and, in his confusion, faints, thinking the thief is a dreaded Gojgam. Seizing the opportunity, the cunning thief, aware of the immense value of this rare tiger-human hybrid, dreams of striking it rich by selling him as an elite 'tiger bodyguard'!
