Synopsis
Rocky is testing out a new pup dish filling invention, but it ends up launching pup treats high into the air instead of into the pups' dishes. Meanwhile, Cap'n Turbot is out in the woods with Alex, Squeak, and Julius and Julia Goodway, educating them on animals and their habitats. Among the creatures they spot is a salmon, and the Cap'n notes that their life cycle sees them spend time in both salty and freshwater. However, the salmon's path is blocked by a beaver dam, and Cap'n Turbot rushes off to find another stream that the fish can use.
Alex, attempting to get the fish's attention, climbs onto the beaver dam and gets a foot stuck, prompting Cap'n Turbot to call the PAW Patrol. At the Lookout, Rocky manages to get his pup dish filler working properly just before Ryder receives Cap'n Turbot's call and learns of the predicament of both Alex and the salmon. Marshall trips on a dish and ends up stuck in an end of the pup dish filler's launch tube, which sends them both flying into the elevator. In the debriefing, Ryder calls upon Skye to rescue Alex and Rubble to dig a canal so that the salmon can bypass the beaver dam.
Ryder and the pups soon arrive and put the plans into action, but Skye's attempt to lift Alex and Squeak with her harness threatens the stability of the dam. Luckily, as Alex attempts to free himself, the beavers spot his predicament and help him make his escape. Unfortunately, a whole school of salmon arrives while Rubble is still working on the rather time-consuming task of digging them a channel. Ryder hooks a bucket to Skye's hook in an attempt to lift them one by one over the dam, but the scheme proves unsuccessful.
However, a comment of Cap'n Turbot's inspires Ryder, who summons Rocky to join them at the dam. With help from Skye and Rubble, Rockey is able to assemble a water-based version of his pup dish filler, which is able to pull salmon in at one end and launch them safely over the dam from the other end.
