Pinocchio and his friends wander into a small town and decide to listen to the sermon being given at the church where the preacher speaks about the important of looking after those weaker than yourself and of sacrifice. Afterwards he steps in when he believes a group of children are bullying a little girl, only to find out that they were excluding her for her own safety as they were planning to travel through the mountains and offer to let Pinocchio travel with them if he watches the little girl, Nina. However, Nina treats Pinocchio as poorly as she treats her own doll and the group abandons him when a bear shows up, after the bear tells him to stand up for himself and sends him away a blizzard starts and he takes shelter in a cabin. Shortly after he builds a fire in the fireplace the other children find the cabin and join him, however eventually the wood from the table and chair run out and with the blizzard no wood they could find outside would be dry enough to burn. Though the children joke about burning the puppet, when Nina begins to suffer from hypothermia he remembers the preachers words about the importance of sacrifice and tries to throw himself into the fireplace to save the other children. However Nina stops him and the two of them keep warm by dancing, the other children join in and they survive the night until the children's parents find them; however when one of the boys takes credit for saving everyone Pinocchio becomes frustrated with the way he's treated like a toy. Just then Nina shows up, remembering how he saved her and, having learnt an important lesson about taking care of things, plans to repair her doll and has told her parents the truth of what happened with the family seeing him on his way.
