Synopsis
It was another beautiful and busy day at Adventure Beach, with many residents enjoying the lovely weather and water. Everyone, that is, except Mayor Humdinger and his Kitten Catastrophe Crew. Frustrated by the crowded beach, Humdinger decided to come up with a sneaky plan to clear everyone out so he could have it all to himself.
His first attempt to make it look like it was raining didn't work. Cat Skye accidentally dumped all the water from the watering can on him, getting him completely soaked. Mr. Porter then came over and told him that he'll just have to learn to enjoy the beach with everyone else. But after reprimanding the Catastrophe Crew—then whispering to them that he still loved them—he prepared his second plan: having the Catastrophe Crew control a mechanical shark to scare everyone off the beach by making them think the water was too dangerous due to predators. Though Chase plays it safe and orders the beach evacuated, as many citizens run for it, Mayor Goodway collects Chickaletta and leaves, while Mr. Porter ushers Alex away, but not without both Porters turning an angry glare towards Humdinger, suspecting foul play from him. Cap'n Turbot and Ryder are uncertain and suspicious about there being sharks. At Cap'n Turbot's suggestion to investigate, Ryder summons the pups to the Sea Patrol HQ for a mission briefing. Once there, Ryder assigns Marshall and Skye to help deal with the shark. With their Sea Patrol vehicles loaded, the Sea Patroller sets sail to confront the threat.
Once at the beach, Skye, Marshall, and Ryder get to work dealing with the Catastrophe Crew's shark. Skye takes to the air in her seaplane to get a bird's-eye view, while Humdinger watches from the beach. Pleased to see the Sea Patroller heading for open water, he contacts the Catastrophe Crew and tells them to keep the PAW Patrol away from Adventure Beach for as long as possible. This greatly annoys the kittens, who are disturbed by how long they'll have to keep up the ruse.
Ryder and Marshall launch from the Sea Patroller once Skye spots the shark's dorsal fin. When they catch up, Ryder loads Marshall's fire boat's water cannons with treats, hoping to lure the "shark" away. However, even after Marshall fires off two salvos, the Catastrophe Crew doesn't take the bait.
When Cat Rubble tires, the kittens nearly expose themselves by turning the mechanical shark back towards Adventure Beach. This forces Ryder to send Skye to ensure the beach is still empty. Spotting Skye, Marshall, and Ryder heading his way, Humdinger orders the Catastrophe Crew to steer the shark away from the beach. Cat Rocky takes over for the exhausted Cat Rubble.
However, the Catastrophe Crew's desperate attempts to keep the pups busy and away from Humdinger result in the shark beginning to flood. Chase and Rocky head down in Rocky's underwater transport to finally uncover the truth. But before they can help the kittens, the felines panic due to their fear of water and drive the shark onto the beach, directly towards Humdinger.
Skye had spotted Humdinger earlier and managed to warn him in advance, prompting him to flee before she could get him to safety with her vehicle. Meanwhile, Ryder and Zuma arrive on the beach. Ryder converts his ATV back to its normal mode as he makes landfall alongside Zuma's all-terrain boat. Zuma finally brings the shark to a stop, and the Catastrophe Crew stumbles out in tired exhaustion, exposing Humdinger's plan to have the beach all to himself.
With the truth exposed, Humdinger is reduced to handing out towels to everyone as they returned to the beach and the shark is used by the pups to allow people to do water-skiing.
