It's New Year's Eve day on the ranch, and Slim and Miss Viola are both having second thoughts about their engagament -- but for what reason's? Viola returns the lock-washer ring Slim had given her a week before, but before Slim can fix things, Uncle Johnny asks for his help with a "little job." Like all of Uncle Johnny's "little jobs," this one ends up being more that Slim signed up for, and the day's events put him in a race against the clock. Will he make it Viola's house in time to straighten things out, or will Hank and Drover live the rest of their doggy lives without ever seeing Miss Viola again?
