Franklin immediately becomes annoyed with Harriet when she throws a snowball at him, causing him to drop a large pile of presents.

Turtle takes a family portrait, in which Franklin gives a sad look because he still misses Sam.

The next day, as Franklin feeds the chickens, Jenny lets him in on a little surprise - she is fixing up an old sleigh for Grandfather Turtle.

Franklin decides to help, and Jenny introduces him to her neighbors, the Collies, who collect the polish for the sleigh.

Despite Franklin telling her not to do so, Harriet rings the bell, and just like in Jenny's story, a reindeer appears.

In the process, Franklin distracts Grandfather Turtle, who slips on a puddle of ice and breaks his leg.

Rosie the horse, who is pulling the sleigh, is just as surprised as Franklin, and runs away, leaving the two young turtles stranded and lost in the woods.

Turtle soon return home from the Collies'; they discover what has happened and they and the grandparents become worried about Franklin and Harriett.

Meanwhile, Franklin angrily gives his little sister an angry earful for her disobedience, which causes her to start crying.

Dr. Bear gives Grandfather Turtle a cast for his leg and also returns Sam to Franklin, much to his delight.
