Synopsis
At the Lookout, the pups are enjoying a visit from their old friend the space alien before he is called aboard his ship and departs. Ryder and most of the pups decide to continue their game of frisbee, but a tired and hungry Rubble decides to take a nap. In his dream, he finds himself pulled aboard another alien spaceship by an alien that bears a strong resemblance to himself. The alien dog takes Rubble out into space, and the pair are soon enjoying zero gravity.
Despite the alien's language, Rubble is able to understand him when he informs him that they are heading to his home planet. The kindly extraterrestrial offers to let Rubble fly his saucer, but their flight is disrupted by a geyser as they fly low over the planet. In the confusion, Rubble-Dubble ends up falling out of the saucer and being trapped by a pile of rocks. The saucer then crashes, and Rubble is left unable to get out, and thus calls to Ryder for help.
Rubble's signal is too weak for Ryder to clearly understand his message, but he calls the other pups to the Air Patroller and informs them that they're heading into space. Ryder selects Chase to help locate Rubble and Rocky to help free him from where he's trapped. The Air Patroller heads up into the atmosphere and then takes on a new configuration for space travel before blasting off into the depths of space. Ryder and the pups soon arrive at Rubble-Double's home planet, and Rubble spots them flying overhead.
Seeing Rubble-Double from the air, Ryder mistakes him for Rubble and sends Chase and Rocky out to assist him. However, unlike Rubble they're unable to understand the alien's speech, and continue to believe that he's their friend. The real Rubble tries to contact Ryder with his pup tag again, and manages to make contact with the others and make them aware of his peril. Skye leads Chase, Rocky, and Zuma out to assist Rubble and save him from the precariously balanced saucer.
Unfortunately, Rubble-Double falls out of the Air Patroller and onto his ship, which then topples into a pool of green slime. Rubble quickly gears up and goes to his rescue, and the Air Patroller recovers the alien ship. In gratitude, Rubble-Double tosses Rubble an alien pup treat, and after consuming it Rubble wakes up from his dream. Ryder then gives him a real pup treat that is identical to the one he dreamed about, but Rubble brushes this fact off.
