Synopsis
It's Halloween in Adventure Bay, and all the pups are dressed up in their individual costumes. Chase is a cowboy, Rubble is a knight, Zuma is a sailor, Skye's a scarecrow, and Rocky is a train conductor. They are admiring their costumes when Ryder, dressed as a spooky skeleton, surprises them with a scare! The pups jump and flee into a pile of pumpkins. When Skye peeks out, she discovers it was just Ryder and giggles as he removes his mask. The other pups join her, and Rubble asks if the Adventure Bay Halloween party is ready. Ryder responds that it's almost time and explains that Marshall is at City Hall helping Mayor Goodway with the preparations.
Mayor Goodway is busy readying for the big Halloween party at City Hall, with Marshall's help. As they decorate Mr. Porter's pumpkin pie with orange marshmallow frosting, Marshall accidentally creates a giant, sticky spider web. Mayor Goodway thought it was a fun and spooky addition! Marshall then heads back to the Lookout to get his costume on for the party.
Just as Mayor Goodway is admiring the decorations, Mayor Humdinger and his mischievous kittens arrive. Humdinger tries to grab some candy, but Mayor Goodway stops him, explaining that the treats are for trick-or-treating. She and Alex show him how it works, reminding Humdinger that trick-or-treating is for children only, not adults. Humdinger, feeling left out, decides to devise a scheme to ruin Halloween for Adventure Bay by stealing all of the candy. That night, as the kids go trick-or-treating with Mr. Porter and his grandson, Mayor Humdinger and his mischievous kittens, disguised as a spider robot, steal candy from every house they stop at. Unaware of the lurking danger at first, the children soon realize the alarming situation and fear that all the candy will be gone, leaving none for them or anyone else. Shocked, Alex urges his grandfather to call the PAW Patrol.
Receiving the call for help from the children and Mr. Porter, Ryder summons the pups to the Lookout. After announcing the mission and requesting Chase and Marshall's help, the team sets off to capture the spider-bot and save Halloween. They catch up just as Humdinger raids City Hall, taking all the candy. Chase activates his megaphone and demands, "Give back the treats now!" Just then, he begins to sneeze, his kitten allergies flaring up. Ryder urges Marshall to use his X-ray screen to look inside the spider-bot. Marshall does so, revealing Humdinger and the kittens inside. Mayor Goodway reminds Humdinger that trick-or-treating is for children, not adults. Humdinger attempts to escape, but he bounces off Chase’s net and becomes entangled in the web Marshall created earlier. Ryder then orders Humdinger to return the stolen treats.
Soon, an eagle appears overhead, and recognizing that it likes to eat spiders and thinking that the robot is a real spider, the kittens flee, while Ryder requests Skye and Rubble for extra support. When they arrive, Skye scares off the Eagle by ringing City Hall's bell, while Rubble prepares to help Humdinger's robot spider off the web. Before he can, Humdinger spots one final piece of candy and sucks it up, but this proves to be one piece too many for his spider-bot to hold, and the bag containing all the stolen candy bursts, scattering it everywhere, much to Humdinger's disbelief and frustration.
As discipline for his actions, Humdinger is forced to hand out candy to the kids when they arrive at City Hall for the party, with Goodway making sure he does it, while everyone shares a shout of "Happy Halloween!".
