Synopsis
Ryder and the pups are visiting Barkingburg for the winding of Big Benji, the large clocktower that looms over the city. Claw, the Duke of Flappington, Jean-Claude, and Sparks take note as the Princess and Earl of Barkingburg depart for the ceremony. As they are doing so, Sparks eats some nearby plants that cause him to breathe ice instead of fire, which the Duke thinks could be useful in his plan to trap the Princess so he can take over Barkingburg. After putting some of the plants into some marshmallows, which Sparks likes to eat, he sends the dragon and pup to attack the clocktower.
Witnessing this, Ryder summons the pups to Barkingburg Castle, with Marshall tripping on a tray of spicy meatballs. Ryder selects Rocky to melt the ice now encrusting Big Benji's doors, while Skye is chosen to fly to the Dragon Highlands and identify the source of Sparks' new ice breath. Rocky and Ryder arrive at Big Benji, and Ryder decides to contact Skye when they find that Claw and Sparks are absent. Skye spots the Duke of Flappington but is spotted in turn, and the Duke has Claw go after her and orders him to go stop Ryder and the others as well. Skye manages to land safely despite her helicopter being partially frozen, and encounters a pack of baby dragons who help her get moving again.
Skye calls Ryder with an update just as Rocky melts the ice on Big Benji, only for Claw and Sparks to attack Barkingburg Castle and begin covering it in ice. Ryder calls out all the pups, and they begin engaging Claw and Sparks in hopes of depriving Claw of his supply of ice breath causing marshmallows. Unfortunately, Sparks ends up consuming all of the marshmallows and uncontrollably breathing ice all over the city. Ryder hits upon the idea of feeding Sparks something hot-like the spicy meatballs from earlier-to get him breathing fire again, while Skye arrives with her newfound baby dragon friends to help melt the ice.
The baby dragons are introduced as Scorch, Jade, Ruby, Flame, Draco, and Blizzy, each of whom takes to the air with a pup rider to help protect the city. Rubble's catapult force feeds Sparks some meatballs, and he is soon breathing fire again and driving off the Duke of Flappington in his airship. The other dragons then melt the remaining ice, allowing the Earl of Barkingburg to finally wind Big Benji.
