Snowbert has a quarrel with his friend Sidney and decides to create a new companion out of ice. The frosty friend is obedient and always agrees, but Snowbert soon finds that such constant agreement makes the relationship uninteresting and not much fun.

The Story of Snowbert's New Friend is presented as an episode‑style programme. It falls under the genre of a single episode, offering a self‑contained narrative centred on its titular character. The format is straightforward, focusing on a brief but complete storyline rather than an extended series. In this particular episode Snowbert finds himself at odds with his long‑time friend Sidney. The disagreement drives him to fashion a substitute companion out of ice, hoping the new creation will fill the void left by Sidney’s absence. The act of building the icy friend is portrayed as Snowbert’s immediate response to the break‑up, reflecting his desire for a quick fix. Once the frozen pal is in place, Snowbert quickly discovers that a companion who never offers a differing opinion or challenge can become rather dull. The constant agreement leaves him feeling unengaged, and the novelty of an ever‑agreeable friend begins to wear off. This realisation highlights the emptiness of a relationship that lacks any contrast or genuine interaction. The episode concludes with Snowbert recognising that true companionship requires more than just harmony; it needs the occasional disagreement to keep things interesting. His experience with the ice‑crafted friend serves as a reminder that a perfectly compliant partner may not provide the enjoyment or depth he truly seeks.
