action
Little squirrels and officials hibernate in a hollow tree trunk that they have filled with nuts. Donald Duck, in turn, wakes up freezing in his cabin in the woods and has no firewood. He promptly drops the tree of the two chipmunks, who now indignantly follow him to his hut.
First they try to secretly save their nut supply, but Donald finally sets the stump on fire to warm himself. The two croissants put out the flames and try to remove the tree trunk, but are stopped by Donald. They try to extinguish the tree trunk with snowballs thrown through the chimney , but Donald finds out about them here too. In the end, the croissants let a snowball roll towards the house, which keeps getting bigger. Donald, who innocently opens the door of his house at a knock, is swept away by the avalanche. The squirrels can now transport their tree trunk in peace and the squirrels kick Donald, who is stuck in the snow, at the end.
