Synopsis
Ryder and the pups are on the way to the Hidden Jungle to check out the phantom flower, a rare blossom that only blooms every hundred years. Meanwhile, Mayor Humdinger is throwing his own Appreciation Day, though the "festivities" are spoiled when the Kitten Catastrophe Crew abandons him after sabotaging his sandwich. However, Mayor Humdinger hears the approaching PAW Patroller and manages to sneak aboard after throwing a chair into the road to stop it. He soon discovers that the PAW Patrol aren't heading into town but to the jungle and follows them into the cave leading into the Hidden Jungle hoping to convince Ryder to take him home.
After accidentally finding his way into the mysterious wilderness, Humdinger spots the various animal inhabitants and decides to find himself a new minion. However, his attempts meet with no success, until he spots a wandering hippopotamus. The hippo proves amiable, but Humdinger soon regrets his decision after he mounts the animal, and it begins running with him clinging to it for dear life. His distress is soon heard by the PAW Patrol, and Ryder summons the pups to the PAW Patroller with Marshall slipping on a papaya.
Tracker and Zuma are chosen to help rescue Mayor Humdinger, who has ended up in a small lake with crocodiles approaching him and his hippo friend. Zuma manages to divert the reptiles, and Tracker and his monkey friends manage to lure the hippo back onto shore with some bananas. Ryder then calls Skye in to airlift Mayor Humdinger off the hippo, only for Humdinger to become caught in the vine harness he's rigged up for the hippo. As the hippo runs off again, Skye follows them and manages to snag Mayor Humdinger after he's thrown from the hippo's back.
Much to the patrol's dismay, the hippo ends up sliding down a slope towards some rocks with the phantom flower right in its path. Zuma manages to cushion the rocks using his buoys, and Chase then manages to prevent the hippo from crushing the flower with its net. Mayor Humdinger expresses some reluctant appreciation to Ryder, and soon decides that the Kitten Catastrophe Crew really are the best animal minions he could have.
