Cully tells Timmy no animal is all bad, so Timmy befriends a skunk, but no one, not even Lassie, will come near his new friend.

Timmy is trapped on a ledge while chasing a strayed ewe that has just given birth and Ruth desperately tries to get the attention of a nearby helicopter pilot reseeding the hills.

Ruth agrees to babysit Betty Wilder's infant twins, but the young mother arrives early and reluctantly leaves Timmy and Lassie to care for the babies until Ruth returns from an errand. Timmy thinks it will be a cinch--until a marauding hawk chases a frightened pigeon into the bedroom where the babies are sleeping.

Timmy learns a lesson in obedience when he takes a job as water boy at a traveling carnival. He disregards an order, inadvertently allowing a tiger to escape from its cage.

Timmy finds out that Bob Alder's dog Butch is going blind from cataracts and that Bob's father wants to have him put to sleep, so Ruth hires Bob to help with gathering corn to help pay for Butch's surgery. But Butch wanders away from the field where they are working.

A blind dog is trapped in a skip-loader and in danger of being buried alive. Lassie risks her life to save the handicapped pup and Timmy helps the dog's owner find work to pay for a sight-restoring operation for his pet.

Timmy and Ruth try to prove that a little chapel should not be sleighted for demolition because a flock of swallows return there every year on the same day, but they may not arrive after a hawk attacks the scout swallow.
