Mickey and Goofy use a makeshift toboggan, made by mountain water freezing a sleeping bag solid, to slide far enough down the mountain to escape the dangerous freezing temperatures. They find Dr. Artifact to be a prisoner of Slunk and some Andes natives acting as guards. Dr. Artifact has discovered an uncanny species of termite that eat stone instead of wood, and Slunk plans to turn the mites loose on an unsuspecting world, unless his blackmail demands are met.
