Getting aboard, they all slide down the mountain-side until they are stopped by a big tree. Continuing their journey on foot, they hang their hammock in a tree-top and go to sleep until the wind blows them out. They fall into a snow bank and wake with a jolt to find themselves on the air mattress where the nightmare started.

The two couples split into wives and husbands and both break out into fights. Snookums and his new girlfriend just sit back and laugh.
