The episode begins with Adams and Hawks looking for Flint, who hasn't returned to the train as expected. It's snowing and the train is stopped at a mountain pass that's closed because of the snow. Loring, a man who has lived in the area for several years, and who has just recently joined the wagon train, joins then as it's starting to get dark. He tells them how easy it is for a man and horse to disappear in that country and that kind of weather. The men give up for the night and return to camp. Before long anothe man, Duncan disappears after going out to get some firewood. Adams orders everyone to only go out of the camp in pairs. During the night, Adams and Wooster go up on a ridge to light a signal fire. Not wanting Hawks to think they have disappeared like the others, Wooster returns to camp before dawn so he can tell Hawks what's going on. When Major Adams doesn't return after daybreak, Wooster and Hawks go look for him at the signal fire, but he's long gone. The two return to the train, where everyone panics, partially because they are stirred up by Wilkins and Loring, when they find that Adams is now missing too. Hawks manages to calm almost everyone down by promising to wait just one more day. If the missing men don't show up by the next morning, he says they will turn south and try to get to another pass near some hot springs. Wilkins however, won't wait and takes off with his family, going so far as to pull a gun on Hawks who's trying to tlk him out of going. Several of the men go out and search, and this time Loring disappears. However, he shows up a while after the others return to camp, saying his horse tripped and threw him. He says he'd never have made it back if he didn't know his way around the area. Come nightfall, Hawks thinks he hears someone just outside camp, goes to investigate and doesn't return. Charlie is now in charge, and Loring helps him get the wagon train on the way to the pass to the south. Before long they come across the Wilkins family wagon off the side of the trail, turned over and no one around. At one point, Loring stops them and says the wagons should wait while he and Charlie go ahead to make sure there's no drop offs hidden by snow. Once they are well out of sight of the others, they are jumped by some men in white suits, and Charlie finds out thatLoring is behind the disappearances. Loring and his men take Charlie to their camp at the hot springs where all the missing people are being held prisoner. Charlie then pretends to defect to Loring's side and takes over as cook. He manages to hide a knife in the plate of food that he takes to Flint and the Major. They cut themselves and the others loose as Charlie distracts the guard, and then after a gunfight, are able to round up the bushwackers, rejoin the train, and get back to business as usual.
