Oyster and Slippery Jack are scooped into a bucket by a 'little stomper' and escape from a camper with the help of two vaudevillian mice, Rosencrants and Guildenstern.

The Toad Patrol continues their journey to rescue Mistle Toad, coming upon a big block of thick wet, a frozen lake. They have some rough encounters with rumblecrushers and snowmobiles, but also encounter a new friend, Loki the otter, who helps them to get across the thick wet. Unfortunately, Panther Cap falls through a hole into the chilly wet. Fur Foot dives to save him, but it ends up being Loki who rescues him. He's fallen into a deep sleep and the toadlets all find a toad tunnel. While searching for a way to help Panther Cap, most of the Toad Patrol is trapped outside, while Beauty Stem is inside with Slippery Jack and the sleeping Panther Cap. She must rely on intuition and a friendly visitor to help him out.

EarthStar plays the ancient tune on the five giant icicles but fails to change the toadstools back into Toadlets. Learning that 2 more instruments must be found and played together, the Toad Patrol make a hair-raising descent down the big climb on a home made elevator and set out to search the valley before the spring warmth melts the icicles.
