Characters
Synopsis
The PAW Patrol and Daring Danny X are camping out in the desert, where Danny intends to show Ryder and the pups a canyon that acts as a natural skate park. As the group are settling down for the night, Danny shares the story of "Ouchy Paws", a supposed ghost pup who pricked his paws on cactus prickles and now haunts the desert. Unbeknownst to the group, their conversation has been overheard by Sid Swashbuckle and Arrby, who are in the desert after mistakenly going there in search of the treasure Sid buried on a desert island. After seeing Danny's new skateboard, however, Sid becomes determined to have it as a replacement for his rickety tricycle, and decides that he and Arrby will impersonate Ouchy Paws in order to get ahold of it.
The ploy works, but the pups spot Sid and Arrby making their escape with the skateboard and mistake them for Danny heading for Half-Pipe Canyon at night. Hoping to save the daredevil, they all board the Paw Patroller, with Marshall tripping on a sleeping bag before crashing into his friends. Ryder selects Skye and Chase to find and stop "Danny", and the pups and their leader are soon out on the trail. Meanwhile, the real Danny is still running from the supposed Ouchy Paws, but spots Sid and Arrby with his skateboard and sets after them using Sid's abandoned tricycle.
Skye beams her searchlight on the skateboard and realizes that they're in pursuit of Sid, rather than Danny. Ryder has her continue to follow him while sending Chase to find the real Danny, which the police pup soon does. Skye attempts to airlift Sid and Arrby to safety, but Sid refuses to heed her warnings about the danger of skateboarding in the dark. Danny, meanwhile, goes over a jump and is saved by Chase's net, forcing Skye to go his aid as the pirates continue to head into peril.
The two soon find themselves in Half-Pipe Canyon, only to lose the skateboard and find themselves in the midst of a cactus patch. Sid orders Arrby to "borrow" the PAW Patrol's camping lantern so he can make his way safely through the plants. However, Sid's howls of pain attract notice from the PAW Patrol, and Rubble is sent out to clear some boulders between them and the distressed pirates. With Ryder's encouragement, Rubble-frightened by the story of Ouchy Paws-is able to discover that the two pirates were the ones behind his earlier scare.
Sid attempts to escape on the skateboard, but the PAW Patrol are able to snag him and Arrby and recover Danny's skateboard safely. Sid and Arrby are briefly frightened by their own shadows and the pups' howling, but soon recognize the truth.
