Plot
The episode begins with Timon and Pumbaa mining for gold. Pumbaa asks Timon why they didn't bring any tools for digging up the gold that they are looking for, then Timon tells Pumbaa that gold mining is picking up the gold and say "This is mine." Then the wind blows and the two frozen inside big popsicles. Then a man named Courteous Quint comes, singing She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain. He then sees Timon and Pumbaa frozen and rescues them by licking the ice. Then Timon and Pumbaa are sitting on a log with blankets around them. Pumbaa thanks Quint for saving their lives, but Timon, however, doesn't trust the man because he is too nice. The meerkat wonders what Quint is doing in the Klondike, Pumbaa suggests that they ask him, but Timon suggests that they have to be sneaky. Timon goes to Quint and tells him about the weather. Quint tells them that he's here for gold mining as well, which surprises Timon. Pumbaa gives the man a map, but Timon takes the map back. The meerkat then gives the map back to Quint after what Pumbaa said to him.

Timon, Pumbaa, and Courteous Quint run into a cave. Timon and Pumbaa rush to it, but then Quint stops them to warn them about a polar bear inside the cave and tells the two to let him go in first. Pumbaa agrees, but Timon stops Quint by blocking the entrance of the cave and tells the man to let him go first. The meerkat enters the cave and sees all the gold inside. But then, a polar bear eats Timon, but Timon gets out and runs and the bear chases him. Pumbaa and Quint go inside the cave to save Timon's life. After the rescue, the three are outside. Pumbaa asks Timon if the meerkat trusts Quint after the man saved his life. Timon answers "no." Then, the three are back inside the cave mining for gold. Rock piles are about to fall on Timon, but Quint quickly saves the meerkat and the rocks fall on Quint. Pumbaa then asks Timon if he trusts him this time, but still Timon says "no."

Timon, Pumbaa, and Courteous Quint are now at a swimming pool. Pumbaa asks Timon if he could bring the scissors. Timon runs around the pool with the scissors in his hands, then Quint stops him, telling him that he should never run with scissors because he could possibly poke his eyes or drown. Pumbaa asks Timon if he trusts Quint this time, but still Timon says "no." Pumbaa asks Timon why he doesn't trust Quint and Timon says that it's because Quint is too nice and the reason he's saving his life is that he wants the gold. The meerkat then gets gold fever. Timon gives one gold to Pumbaa, then one for himself, then one for Quint, and then one for himself again. Quint tells Timon if they could just split the gold, but Timon puts all the gold in a bag.

Timon, Pumbaa, and Quint are about to go on icy ground. The ground then crumbles and breaks. Timon falls with the gold, Pumbaa catches Timon but then falls, and Quint quickly catches Pumbaa by his tail. Quint tells Timon to throw him the bag of gold because they're too heavy to lift, but Timon refuses. Pumbaa tells Timon that he has to trust him and then reminds the meerkat about the times Quint saved their lives. Timon throws the bag of gold to Quint. Then it shows that Courteous Quint is really a gold thief named Claim-Jumper Quint. A hook grabs on to Quint and Quint lets go of Pumbaa and Timon and Pumbaa fall and safely land on a snow. Quint is being lifted up to a helicopter. Then the helicopter goes inside a police aircraft and the police is heard telling Quint "You're under arrest." Timon tells Pumbaa that they are quitting the gold mining. Then a billionaire pops out of the snow and gives them a gold key.

Quotes
Pumbaa: Uh, Timon, why didn't we bring any tools? You know, uh, shovels and picks and other digging things for digging up the gold that we're out here looking for?

Timon: Pumbaa, let me explain gold mining. You simply pick up the gold and say "This is mine," hence the term gold mining.

Pumbaa: Oh.

Pumbaa: Timon, don't you want to thank the nice man for saving our lives?

Timon: No, I don't trust him. He's too nice. Courteous Quint my eye. Just look at that hat. What's he doing here anyway?

Pumbaa: Maybe we should ask him.

Timon: Pumbaa, you just don't ask someone what they're doing, ya gotta be sneaky and try to weasel it out of them. Watch me while I weasel.

(Timon runs to Courteous Quint)

Timon: So, nice weather we're having, eh?

Courteous Quint: Unveiquovically, this is exquisite weather for gold mining, which is what I'm out here doing. I'm a gold miner, I mine gold.

Timon: See? All you have to do is ask.

Pumbaa: Wow, the nice man saved your life again, again, Timon. Now do you trust him?

Timon: No. And the next two words out of your mouth better not be "But, Timon."

Pumbaa: Buh...Rrr...Tmph...Wigt...Blurr...Pff...Burlp...BUT, TIMON!

(Timon guards the bag of gold. Owl hoots)

(The wind whistles through the trees)

Timon: Did you hear that? What was it?

Pumbaa: The wind.

Timon: I don't trust it, and I don't trust that tree or that shrub or the ground we're walking on.

(The ground crumbles and breaks)

Pumbaa: Wow, wasn't that great how the nice man helped save your life, Timon? Wasn't it, wasn't it, wasn't it?

Timon: Yeah, Pumbaa. Ya know that's just the sorta thing that makes you wanna trust a guy.
