Synopsis
Ryder and Zuma are on their way to the beach to rescue Chickaletta when she gets into trouble again. Turns out, Zuma accidentally left his hovercraft unguarded for a little bit, and Chickaletta managed to commandeer it and take it for a wild ride. After saving her and returning her to the Mayor, they watch as a young boy by the name of Danny succeeds with his own jump on his motorbike, impressing Ryder and Zuma.
Back at the Lookout, Ryder and Rocky are working on Ryder's ATV when Danny shows up, having fine-tuned his motorbike, and now going by the name of "Daring Danny X," as he wants to improve on his previous jump as he plans on jumping 10 cars next time. Fearing that he might hurt himself, Mayor Goodway calls Ryder to let him know about Danny's latest stunt, and Ryder calls the pups to the Lookout, where Marshall ends up getting everyone stuck in a barrel that bursts open once it lands in the elevator, making a joke that he's heard of a barrel of monkeys, but not a barrel of pups. Once topside, Ryder assigns Chase and Skye to assist with helping Danny so he doesn’t get hurt, and the team deploys.
Upon arrival, Danny prepares to jump, despite the Mayor's and citizens' concerns for his safety and their vehicles. Danny confidently dedicates the stunt to Ryder and starts his attempt. However, his trike swerves out of control after hitting a puddle, causing him to lose control. Skye swiftly intervenes, lifting Danny to safety with her harness. Meanwhile, Ryder takes control of Danny's trike, activating his ATV's auto-pilot feature, and successfully clears the jump. Chase then deploys his net, allowing Danny to bounce off and land safely in Mr. Porter's van, albeit with a watermelon stuck on his head, much to his dismay and frustration.
Later, Ryder receives another call from Danny, who announces his intention to jump Rattlesnake Canyon, equipped with parachutes on his bike. Recognizing the extreme danger of this stunt, Ryder quickly contacts the Air Patroller to request their urgent assistance, aiming to arrive swiftly and prevent Danny from sustaining serious injuries.
As Danny prepares to make his jump, the Air Patroller appears behind him, surprising him that Ryder brought his aircraft to watch his jump. Ryder is already prepared for if something goes wrong as he has all the pups with him. With that, Danny makes his jump, but as his parachutes deploy, the bolt securing the line on one of them come loose, leaving him to be shaken out of his seat and clinging to his front wheel for dear life.
Ryder quickly deploys Rubble and Rocky to re-secure the parachute line and help Danny, but once the line is fixed, Danny's attempts to get back into his seat fail, and he falls out. Luckily, Rubble catches him with his hoverboard, and brings him back to the Air Patroller.
Once back at the Lookout, Danny thanks Ryder for everything, but then notices that the pups have disappeared when he wanted to thank them as well, along with his bungee cord. Turns out, they were testing Danny's bungee cord, which soon snaps in two from the strain, leaving Danny and all the pups laughing afterwards.
