Synopsis
On a windy day in Adventure Bay, the pups are playing leapfrog when a bird's nest falls out of a tree near the Lookout and breaks. The pups quickly-and enthusiastically-set to work collecting sticks to help repair the nest. Meanwhile, on Adventure Bay's beach, various citizens are enjoying the sunny and windy weather. These include Julius and Julia Goodway, who blow up a large swan floatie and end up aboard it with their aunt and Chickaletta as the wind carries it out to sea. Ms. Marjorie, seeing this, quickly gives Ryder a call about the situation.
Marshall bounces off a large stick and a tire swing to make his customary elevator crash as the pups head into the Lookout. In the debriefing, Skye and Zuma are chosen to help locate and tow the swan floatie back into shore. Skye soon locates the Goodways, but a flock of swans ends up circling around the giant swan floatie. Apparently mistaking the floatie for a giant swan, the birds ward off Ryder and Zuma's attempts to approach it and attach a tow line. Ryder is able to distract them with a birdseed bar Mayor Goodway had on hand for Chickaletta, but the birds move back into position before Zuma can complete his task.
The swans then begin pushing the floatie away from the PAW Patrol, and one ends up poking a hole in it after making an aggressive display at the pups and Ryder. When Zuma comments that the floatie will soon sink, Ryder is inspired and calls Marshall, Rocky, and Marble to build a floating platform and make it sink beneath the surface with a large boulder. With help from Francois and Ms. Marjorie, they soon accomplish this task, and Skye flies back to the beach to pick up Marshall and follow Rocky's tugboat back out to the Goodways. Marshall uses his animal speech skills to distract the swans, and Rocky and Zuma manage to first sink the platform and then raise it up under the deflated floatie.
The PAW Patrol, the Goodways, and the swans are soon all safely back on shore, where Rocky sets to work repairing the floatie. Francois returns to his sunbathing, though he is briefly disturbed by a curious swan.
