When the wind spies Mama and Papa's beautiful baby it vows to steal her and whisks her away down the road and across the town causing havoc everywhere it blows. But Baby will not stop crying, even when the wind steals old Mrs McGinty's shawl to keep her warm. Grandpa saves the day by catching the wind with his lasso and tying it up until it is sorry for what it has done and thinks of a way of apologising for all the trouble it has caused.
