The Robinson Family's Mountain Life
In this movie, the Robinson family continues to live a peaceful life in their mountain home. They enjoy the quiet and beauty of nature. But new challenges are always just around the corner for them.
Preparing for Winter's Challenges
As the story unfolds, the family gets ready for a very tough winter. The cold weather arrives, and Pat, the mother, becomes very sick with pneumonia. This is a serious lung infection that makes it hard to breathe.

The wild animals around their home can be quite dangerous. A pack of hungry wolves, led by a large wolf named "Scarface" (because of a mark near his eye), starts to threaten the family. They try to break into the house.
