Plot

As the winter approaches, squirrels diligently gather nuts for survival with numerous absurd tools. A young squirrel wins a large number of nuts from other children by playing craps, but is spotted by his father. He is made to retrieve his father's savings from the bank, but spends it all on gambling with a gentleman. He pretends to have been robbed, only to be spanked as the gentleman reveals himself to be his father in disguise.
