When the child's mother returns home, the con artist tries to sell her "dick soup," claiming he can resell it to the child, then pivots to hawking a sled to the family. In a separate story involving Deputy "Nuk," an investigation unfolds when unusual handprints are discovered in the snow around a camp, leading the deputy and others to track down a mysterious suspect.
Noodnik enters a snow statue contest, crafting a self-portrait that’s quickly destroyed by a jealous rival.

Frank Rogers, a shrewd salesman, tries to peddle a series of increasingly absurd inventions—like a sled that doubles as a shower and a stove made from a refrigerator—to a young boy in an Eskimo village, all while pretending they’re essential. As the boy resists each pitch, Frank grows more desperate, trying to guess what the boy’s mother is saving her fox skins for—until the final, unexpected reveal.
Pinky and his father discover that a mysterious force is stealing their stash of carrots from under the snow, leading them on a wild chase across the frozen landscape. As the thefts grow more baffling, Pinky reveals he’s been secretly befriended by a snow-colored rabbit named Max, whose invisibility in the snow explains the disappearances.
Detective Chief Frank Robge and his new deputies, Nuk and Dude, launch their first case in the Arctic Police Dept. after a mysterious package sparks a search for a suspicious character. When strange handprints in the snow and a man fleeing into an igloo lead them on a wild chase, the team must follow a trail that takes an unexpected turn—especially when a hound proves more clever than expected.
