While returning from a family trip, the Ingalls receive a twofold warning from a mean hearted official. He warns them that a blizzard is coming and that a dangerous Indian fugitive is on the loose. He surprises the Ingalls by claiming his crime was his birth into the Indian race. Later, the family must take shelter in an abandoned cabin.
