...dead of a bright white winter's night, the hot young sparks fly off to town to steal some girls of tinder age. Six screams later, their sleigh is racing back to the farm with a baggage of "Sobbin' Women" aboard and a tumult of raging fathers behind. The brothers shout down an avalanche of snow behind them, blocking pursuit until spring, and barrel away home to a long winter's courtship...
