Kipper the dog is bewildered by the hole chewed in his cardboard toy box. His attempts to count his toys frustrate him because instead of the usual six, he comes up with seven or eight. Then Sock Thing disappears. During the night the mystery is solved when Kipper discovers two mice in the missing sock creature. Instead of nibbling his box for their nest, they join Kipper in his basket.
Jumping out of his basket with a "Yes! Yes!," Kipper enthusiastically greets the day, where the snow awaits him. Upon discovering the joy of making body images (dog angels?), the pup runs off to find his best friend Tiger, a Scotty. The two spend the day on the hill, leaving behind a giant snow dog. Despite Tiger's repeated warning that a warm wind is coming, their creation lasts for three weeks.
