Leroys attempts to win Janie’s affection by offering to take on her "big problem"—her cousin Gwendolyn’s lack of a date for the winter outing—leads to an unexpectedly grueling day of ice-skating and snow-climbing. As he tries to tire Gwendolyn out in hopes of freeing himself to be with Janie, the situation spirals into a chaotic downhill sled ride that ends in a dramatic rescue.
