Synopsis
The pups are visiting the Hidden Jungle again, playing games to make cleaning up from a recent storm more enjoyable. While taking a break and trying to collect some mangoes, they spot a glowing butterfly. Meanwhile, Tracker and Carlos are checking out other parts of the jungle alongside Patch the monkey and encounter a young elephant, only for a tree to fall. Surprisingly, it proves to be the work of gigantic ants, who have curiously wandered away from their ant hill.
Seeing the ants felling other trees, Carlos puts in a call to Ryder, who summons the pups aboard the PAW Patroller. Marshall makes his usual slip on some mangoes, and Ryder then briefs the pups. Rocky is chosen to help the trapped elephant, while Skye is chosen to search the jungle from the air and try to identify the cause of the ants' behavior. Carlos and Tracker attempt to move the fallen tree themselves without success, but fortunately Rocky arrives shortly thereafter and removes it.
Based on Carlos' advice, Ryder gives Skye direction on where to search, and Tracker goes to retrieve his jeep while Ryder, Carlos, and the others go looking for the ants. Skye discovers a washed-out giant ant hill, apparently destroyed by the storm, and the PAW Patrol quickly realize that the ants must be looking for a new home. They discover that the ants are heading for the volcano, and fear that the ants will attempt to make their home inside it and be harmed as a result. Acting quickly, Ryder summons the rest of the pups, sending Rocky and Rubble to repair the old ant hill.
Chase and Marshall attempt to halt the ants by digging a trench and filling it with water, but the ants build a bridge and are soon across. As Rocky contacts Ryder to let him know how reconstruction is coming, he unwittingly inspires Ryder to lure the ants back home with something sweet; Carlos suggests mangoes. The pups are soon at work collecting the fruit, and Tracker, Zuma, and Patch soon lay out a trail of mangoes to tempt the ants back home. Soon enough, the ants are back at their hill, now provided with a drainage trench so that it won't get wrecked by rain again. Having helped the grateful ants, the pups are rewarded with some mangoes of their own.
