Joelle discovers a mysterious stranger, however, in the snows of the Badlands. When some of Mr. Austin's cattle are stolen, and Peter's sheep herding father is taken ill during a blizzard, Steve finds he must use his flying skill to rescue Peter's father and with the help of Joelle and Peter to solve the cattle rustling mystery. A happy ending with the rustlers caught, the lonesome stranger revealed, and Steve's father with a change of heart.
