The Ingallas end up stranded in an abandon cabin, when a Spring time blizzard traps them, on their way home from a family trip to Mankato. Things would be alright only if: 1) they weren’t low on food 2) didn’t have a near frozen renegade US Marshall show up out of nowhere and 3) didn’t have to worry about renegade US Marshall’s feelings towards a brave man who helps Charles out. This blizzard is more than just a storm…it’s a metaphor. Will things turn out alright for the snowed in party or will the ghost of the past cause a different kind of storm?
