When a snowstorm hits, Freddie Ramos is happy to use his Zapato Power to help clear the snow, but he is less happy about helping a neighborhood bully when her grandmother's purse is stolen. Some arbitrary subplots distract from the main story of this fifth installment, but Freddie's super-powered sneakers remain an entertaining premise and black-and-white cartoons support the light tone.
