Synopsis
At the Lookout, the pups are playing a game of hot potato to the tune of Pup Pup Boogie, unaware that they're being observed by a family of beavers. Meanwhile, at Farmer Al's farm, Al is eagerly anticipating the arrival of a judge from a special vegetable record book company to view his rainbow-colored potato. Unfortunately, he then finds that his decorations have been damaged and that the potato has been dug up and is nowhere in sight. He promptly calls Ryder for help, and Ryder summons the pups to the Lookout just as the judge is arriving at Al's farm.
Marshall trips on the soccer ball the pups were using for their game; afterwards, Spy Chase and Rubble are selected to join Ryder on the mission to help Farmer Al. Al intercepts the judge, who introduces himself as Spud, and attempts to stall him from discovering the potato's absence by giving him a tour of Adventure Bay. The pair meet Ryder and the pups on their way out, and Ryder and Rubble set to work repairing the decorations. Chase, meanwhile, discovers some tracks that don't appear to belong to any farm animals, and deploys his drone to search for the mystery creatures. It turns out that the beavers who were watching the pups before have the potato, and briefly play with it on the beach.
One of the beavers gets stuck in a bucket, drawing the attention of Alex, Julius, and Julia. Chase and Ryder, arriving on the scene, begin pursuing the baby beaver, while Al continues his ploy of playing tour guide to a rather disinterested Spud. Unfortunately, while Spud is finally distracted by Mayor Goodway's tulips, the baby beaver ends up hijacking his scooter and then being launched up onto the roof of city hall. Chase takes off after the beaver parents, who have the potato in their clutches, while Ryder summons Skye to rescue the baby. Spud takes off towards Al's farm, now determined to see the potato.
Ryder, Chase, and Skye succeed in recovering the potato after providing the beavers with another plaything, and manage to reach the farm just in time to deliver it to all. Spud is duly impressed, and Al expresses gratitude to Ryder and the pups for their help.
