Synopsis:
On a ski vacation in their civilian identities, the Teen Titans find themselves in costumed action when weird happenings plague the Indian-owned Medicine Mountain resort. Aided by ski instructor Eddie Tallbow, the Titans discover the mishaps are being arranged by restaurateur Antom Larson, who as chief creditor of the resort, intends to sell the land to the government for use as a missile site after the Indians declare bankruptcy. Defeated and captured, the junior super-heroes narrowly escape death while bound to a runaway bobsled, before turning the tables on Larson and his henchmen.
