Synopsis
Chase and Marshall are out on a hike with Digi and Tal when they come across Uncle Otis, who is panning for gold. The prospector notes that his panning efforts are slow to yield much gold, which soon inspires Digi and Tal to work on the problem. It's not long before the pair arrive in a digging machine that they then present to Otis. Unfortunately, Otis takes it for a test drive without consulting Digi and Tal as to how to operate the vehicle.
Digi and Tal promptly contact Ryder with news of these developments, and Ryder promptly summons the pups. Marshall's usual trip is caused by a bucket, and he finds himself at the bottom of a pup pile. Ryder selects Rubble and Spy Chase to take part in the rescue, relying on the latter's observation skills to keep an eye out for Otis. Rubble, meanwhile, digs Digi and Tal out of some dirt piles they ended up in as a result of Otis' digging. Chase deploys his drone into Otis' tunnel, and it soon catches up to Otis and his beaver friends as they start digging upwards.
The digging machine emerges from the earth near a railroad track that it soon breaks, forcing Ryder to summon Rocky to repair the line. Ryder then summons Skye into the field and calls for Rubble, finished with his previous task, to join them in their efforts. Digi and Tal also set out to help correct their mistake. Skye swoops in an attempt to rescue Otis and the beavers but only succeeds with help from Rubble briefly restraining the digging machine.
Digi and Tal arrive just in time to put a stop to the digging machine and then set out to assist Rocky in repairing the broken railroad tracks. Using the digging machine as raw materials, they soon replace the broken train tracks and secure them in place just in time as a train comes rolling down the line. Otis expresses his thanks to both the PAW Patrol and the robots, and upon finding a nugget unearthed by the digging machine sets off to find more with Digi and Tal in hot pursuit.
