Coyote, overhearing their wants tries to help. He searches high and low for a source of warmth for his friends, the People. Finally, at the highest peak of a mountain he finds himself peering into a never-ending source of life. Excited by his findings he rushes back to the town to share his news; proclaiming he has found a solution to their never ending winter.
After a long journey to the peak, and collecting bounty for his troubles, Coyote leads them to their ultimate destination. As the People lower their heads, the Coyote shoves the People to their doom into the heart of the valcanoe. Coyote takes his bounty, creates a coyote mansion, and the people never were cold again.
