Peter Rabbit and Dazy race to warn the town of an approaching Indian attack, only to discover the so-called "warriors" are actually a group of friendly Native Americans selling a rug. When Peter pretends to be the Mountain Spirit to scare them off, he must keep up the ruse — even as he accidentally makes it rain — all while trying to prevent the townspeople from realizing the "spirit" is just a clever rabbit in a costume.
