Buffalo Bill Cody is portrayed by Bill McCune recounting an 1900 winter at Red Lodge Montana. Cody wakes at 5 am to find the hotel out of coal and orders a coal delivery after a mop-wielding worker shoves him into a snowbank. He then confronts conditions as the dining room floor thaws with ice. A visiting woman asks about warmth. Cody replies there is no fire, urging a skating precaution. Coal arrives and fires blaze throughout the house.
