Un canard lutte fortement et finalement coule ses œufs dans le froid amer, après les avoir chuchotés et en voyant les poussins faire du ski, du patinage et profiter de l'hiver à l'intérieur des coquilles. Tout sauf un, c'est-à-dire: le pauvre Robespierre. Elle ne remarque pas tant que le reste de la niche n'a pas baigné et Robespierre a poussé des jambes et s'est enfui à la recherche de chaleur. Il le trouve, sous un ours hibernant («J'ai donc mis un œuf»), mais un loup l'a suivi et attrape l'œuf, avec une aide d'un bâton de TNT. Ce que le loup n'a pas compté, c'est maman, qui est juste derrière lui, avec quelques doigts à la pointe de l'œil. Le loup échange une poignée de porte pour l'oeuf, et commence à faire bouillir l'œuf, mais maman arrive au premier moment pour être rejetée par le bébé qui se réchauffait.

Susie Parkington (Greer Garson), an elderly society matron, is surrounded by her many relatives at her stately home at Christmastime in 1938, with the exception of her beloved great-granddaughter Jane (Frances Rafferty). When Jane does appear she informs her great-grandmother that she plans to elope with Ned Talbot (Tom Drake), her father's employee, who wishes to take her away from her family and their way of life. Susie arranges a meeting with Ned, where he reveals that Jane's father Amory (Edward Arnold) is being questioned for fraud and he planned to take Jane away in order to hide her from the truth. Susie sends Ned away, telling Jane to forget about him, and after hearing her grandson-in-law's side of the story makes the decision to ask her heirs to pay off Amory's debts with a loan ($31 million), much to her family's disgust, as it will mean that they may lose their inheritance.
