A large cliff beckons to Beanie. He falls over the cliff, puppy in tow. Fortunately, the drop isn't far and neither is hurt. In the jumble of the fall, Beanie loses the puppy. He's now completely alone.
Beanie resolves to be strong, to toughen up.
He climbs the cliff, and at noon sees the Tatum family cabin. His family comes to meet him, happy that he is safe. Beanie, however, is upset that he has lost his new puppy. But the smart little puppy had found its way home and is now sleeping off his first great adventure. Early afternoon finds Beanie back at his chores, happy to be back at home with his family and new puppy.
