Synopsis
Out on the roof of Mr. Porter's café, Marshall and Rocky help Francois setup for a video he is filming to advertise Mr. Porter's blueberry pies, featuring Chickaletta, Mayor Goodway, Super Rubble, and Mr. Porter, who is nervous, forgetting his lines as a result. Once the rehearsals are finished, everyone gets into their places and waits for Francois' command to start. However, after turning on the lights, Francois accidentally drops and breaks the remote to the camera, causing the crane he is sitting on to roll on its own through town until it crashes into the railing of the Adventure Bay Bridge, where he is left dangling from its cables. Seeing the crane teeter dangerously off the edge of the bridge, Francois calls the PAW Patrol for help.
After learning of Francois' situation, Ryder summons the PAW Patrol to the Lookout, where, after a Marshall-pie-wipe-out, they are suited up in their standard gear and briefed on the rescue mission. Marshall and Rubble, who is wearing his Super Rubble mask with his standard gear, are called on as first responders and set off with Ryder for the bridge, arriving just after a pelican flies off with Francois' camera. While Marshall uses his ladder to catch Francois just before he loses his grip from the cables, Rubble uses his crane to lift the remote-controlled crane off from the bridge's edge.
Thanks to Super Rubble for repairing and bringing back the remote to the camera, the team are able to see that the pelican is in the nearby woods. Using Ryder's pup pad, Francois calls Skye in for an airlift with her harness and directs her until the pelican is in sight. However, just as Francois reaches for the camera, the pelican drops it into a blueberry bush, attracting a bear, who takes it into her cave with her cubs. Fortunately, using a couple of pies from Mr. Porter's cafe, Super Rubble is able to lure the bears back out and retrieve the camera from the cave while they are eating. Afterwards, as Francois films the bears for his video, the PAW Patrol share the spare pie Rubble brought and a laugh after one of the bears flings a pie into Francois' face.
Back at Mr. Porter's cafe, Francois shows off the finished video to the PAW Patrol and a few citizens of Adventure Bay. Pleased with his masterpiece, Francois asks if anyone would like to see it again, but all, except the PAW Patrol, are too busy ordering pies from Mr. Porter after seeing them in the video. He then thanks the PAW Patrol for their help, and, after Super Rubble recites Ryder's usual "yelp for help" catchphrase, which Ryder compliments in French, the group share another laugh together.
