Plot

In the third and final film, the Robinsons celebrate the arrival of spring after surviving a harsh winter. However, their happiness is short-lived when a Forest Service ranger informs them that they must prove their mountain home is located on a legitimate mining claim (which is on government land) or face eviction. Additionally, Pat discovers that her mother is ill and decides to return to Los Angeles.
