Synopsis
The PAW Patroller arrives in the jungle, carrying Ryder, the pups, and Otis Goodway to meet Carlos and Tracker. While Tracker and the pups quickly engage in a game of "coconut racing", Uncle Otis sets out on his reason for coming to the jungle: locating a legendary lost gold mine. After Carlos and Ryder lose track of him, he finds an entrance to the mine, only to be snagged by a rope trap. He quickly calls Ryder for help, and Ryder calls the pups to the PAW Patroller.
Marshall ends up crashing into the other pups by rolling on the coconuts they were playing with, and the pups then head in for their debriefing. Chase and Tracker are selected to help Ryder locate and rescue Uncle Otis, and the trio set out. As Otis suffers the attentions of a parrot and a monkey, Chase deploys his drone while Tracker begins traversing the jungle with his pup pack cables. The sun begins going down just as Tracker hears and locates Uncle Otis, whom he cuts free using his multi-tool.
Uncle Otis prepares to rush into the goldmine and ends up doing so in spite of Tracker's warning that they should wait until daylight the next day. The pair end up falling into a minecart and can't get back out, and Tracker calls Ryder to alert him to their situation. Though unable to hear Tracker clearly, they manage to follow his signal to the mine, narrowly avoiding another rope trap. Chase then brings his truck in so he can lower his winch cable to Otis and Tracker. However, when Otis checks on a shiny object that proves to be an old bottlecap, he ends up setting the ancient minecart in motion.
Chase sends his drone ahead of the minecart and discovers that Otis and Tracker are heading for a dead end. He promptly calls Rocky and Rubble for help, with Rubble digging a new entrance to the mine to reach the end of the tracks. Rocky, with Rubble's assistance, then begins building a track extension so that Otis and Tracker are launched clear of the mine. Tracker then uses his cables to latch onto a nearby tree so he and Otis can get out of the mine cart before it crash-lands. Otis apologizes for his misbehavior and asks Ryder and the pups to take him home, unaware as Rubble seals off the new mine entrance that they passed right by some gold.
