Papa tells Freddie that if he wants to marry Gertie he will have to beat Willie Yodel in a big race up the mountain, but Freddie says he gets dizzy just climbing in bed. Papa then reveals that he was once a great mountain climber, and will be glad to help him. The day of the race comes. They start and after innumerable hair raising adventures Freddie and papa find themselves far behind Willie Yodel. Willie does stop to yodel every so often, but finally a mountain goat who has been following gets tired of hearing this so he butts Willie down the hill. As Willie rolls far below them, Freddie and papa gain courage and start out again. Gertie and the girls at the lodge have been watching the race through the telescope furnished for the purpose. Several of Willie's dirty tricks, such as rolling big rocks down on Freddie and papa, are thus observed, so Gertie changes her affections and begins cheering for Freddie. Willie dons a big bear skin and begins chasing Freddie and papa and they are naturally scared to death. Finally the hunt becomes two sided however, when a hunter who had previously taken several pot shots at Freddie when he was carrying a canoe (advised by papa) on top of his head, sees the "bear" and begins chasing Willie. All manner of thrills at this peculiar chase over mountains of dizzying height and canyons of terrifying depth are witnessed by the girls through the telescope below. Finally, after surmounting seemingly unconquerable obstacles, Freddie and papa scramble up a rocky abutment to the top of the mountain, turn, and yell, informing the half-shot Willie that due to his chasing them, they were scared into winning the race.
