Synopsis: It has been two years since the Nome dogsled team beat out the bush plane and then saved the pilot from death in the wilderness. Now, Balto is becoming less and less energetic as his children continue his legacy of dog sledding excellence by winning the first two Iditarod races, which have been held in their father’s honor. When they are to set the world record for distance covered by a sled team in 24 hours, they, along with their father, who has come along for one last spell of glory, they encounter their estranged family member, Aleu, along with the pack of wolves she is heading. When the team’s musher is killed on Aleu’s orders, Balto and his children are stranded in the Alaskan wilderness and Aleu has no idea they are her family. She repeatedly orders for their death, and her siblings and father continue to outmaneuver her henchmen, Balto and Kodi secretly sneak into the pack’s headquarters and have a conversation with his daughter, who, in turn, becomes very angry with herself and calls off the orders for them to be killed.
Meanwhile, back in Nome, after the team has been missing for three days and having received no transmissions from the town they were supposed to be headed to, the town begins to panic, sending up search teams, and, due to Balto’s national fame, the National Guard and entire Airborne Divisions are called in to search for the dogs. As the media descends on the quiet town, Jenna and the rest of the Gang become aware of the magnitude of the situation and Boris, along with Muk and Luk, attempt to comfort an increasingly depressed Jenna, who is finding solace at the local Church along with hundreds of other people praying for the dogs’ welfare.
Back in the wilderness, Aleu and the rest of her pack are not able to give directions to Balto and the rest of Aleu’s family back to Nome. When Balto decides to spend some time alone while the rest of his children remain in the hospitality of Aleu’s pack, he is visited by the ghost of his mother, who tells him—spiritually and cryptically, of course—directions back to Nome. Balto returns to headquarters and tells of his encounter with the spirits, but everybody believes him to be crazy. Will they listen to Balto and follow his directions back to Nome or will they all perish?
