In a remote Highland house, a cold winter night finds a newly‑married couple huddled by the fire while a fierce snowstorm rattles the moor outside. Their loyal collie, Laddie, behaves strangely, refusing to come inside and instead urging his owners toward the howling wind. Believing the dog has sensed someone lost in the drifting snow, the wife insists they follow the animal, despite the husband’s reluctant sarcasm and the skeptical murmurs of their servants.
Together they brace against the biting cold, stepping into a moonlit landscape where the snow piles waist‑deep and visibility is razor‑thin. The narrative weaves tension and quiet humor as the couple wrestle with duty, fear, and the uncanny loyalty of their four‑legged companion. Listeners are drawn into the atmospheric struggle between human doubt and animal instinct, setting the stage for a night that will test courage on the desolate moor.
