Synopsis
At the Lookout, the PAW Patrol are putting on an exhibition of their vehicles and equipment for the children of Adventure Bay. Mayor Humdinger observes this from a distance, hoping to copy Ryder's work in order to improve his own trouble-making gadgetry. Upon hearing Ryder talking about his first helicopter and mentioning a "special feature", Humdinger deploys his Kitten Catastrophe Crew to provide a distraction. While they use a pup pack to fire nets all around the Lookout, Mayor Humdinger hops into the helicopter-only to quickly prove an inept pilot.
Ryder calls the pups inside, with Marshall bouncing across several nets to make his customary elevator crash. After debriefing the pups, Ryder chooses Rubble to build a landing pad for the out-of-control helicopter, while Skye is called upon to help the mayor land safely. Mayor Humdinger is soon flying crazily over and through Adventure Bay, and Skye attempts to reason with him. However, Humdinger refuses to give up on learning the nature of the "special feature", and ends up accidentally deploying a drone designed to follow the helicopter and tow vehicles.
Due to Humdinger's erratic flight path, the drone is soon dragging a dumpster wildly around the city streets, prompting Ryder to summon Rocky and Zuma to help stop it. Humdinger then buzzes past the Lookout again before flying out over Farmer Yumi's farm, where he ends up accidentally picking up Bettina with his copter's harness. Chase arrives to clear the roads beneath Humdinger's flight path, and Bettina is eventually dropped on the school bus carrying Alex and his classmates, fortunately causing no harm to herself or anyone else. Skye then follows Humdinger and the copter into Twistabout Canyon, but her pursuit is complicated when Humdinger deploys more drones.
Skye manages to identify an alternate route through the canyonlands to get ahead of Humdinger so that she can lead him to safety. However, Humdinger-quite by accident-ends up flying back towards Yumi's farm, where Ryder and the other pups work quickly to prepare a landing site. Skye then sets her current copter to autopilot and uses her pack to fly beside Mayor Humdinger. With her coaching, he is able to land the copter, and Skye is quickly commended by Zuma for her efforts. Mayor Humdinger then learns that Skye herself was the "special feature" that made the helicopter so effective.
