Synopsis
Adventure Bay is busy organizing its museum for the appearance of the Royal Kittens from Barkingburg, who are named Henry and Elizabeth. While they travel towards Adventure Bay on a train, Chase soon comes with the ultimate piece of the museum, which Rocky unpacks from the mail van. Ryder, wearing a new wristwatch pup-pad, is helping with the decorations.
Inside the museum, Francois is finishing sprucing things up while Mayor Goodway and Chickaletta prepare their welcome greeting. Mayor Humdinger then barges in to scoff and brag at Goodway, before Chase and Rocky enter with the final piece, the Purple Jeweled Kitty. Hearing that attracts Humdinger's attention and despite being warned that the container can only be opened by the Royal Kittens, Humdinger tries to do so, but sets off the security alarm, drawing Chase's attention and suspicion. When word comes that the train is on its way, Humdinger slips away to go after the train instead.
Katie, Cali, Henry, and Elizabeth were enjoying their train ride to Adventure Bay when the Butler arrived with more treats for the Royal Kittens. Unbeknownst to them, Humdinger, disguised as a servant, created a distraction with Cat Skye and forced Cali and Katie into the caboose.
Upon returning, they found that the Royal Kittens were gone and wondered where they went. Then they heard a rattling in the closet, and Katie opened it, revealing that the butler was locked inside. Katie asked if he was okay. He nodded, much to her relief. She then asked if he saw who took the Royal Kittens, but before he could answer, Mr. Hudson arrived. He revealed that he knew who had taken the kittens, explaining that it was a man with a big, bushy beard and that the culprit had thrown him out of the locomotive. Katie said she thought there was something suspicious about him, so she and Cali went to check it out. However, they didn't know that Mayor Humdinger and the Kitten Catastrophe Crew were the ones who had cat-napped the kitties and taken control of the locomotive.
Katie and Cali made it to the locomotive, but found that the door was locked. Katie knocked on the door, exclaiming, "Let us in! We know you've got the Royal Kitties!" Humdinger heard this and, chugging away sneakily, separated the locomotive from the passenger car and caboose. With no other choices left, Katie called Ryder.
At the museum, Ryder learns of the situation regarding the locomotive and the runaway cars, and assures a worried Goodway that the PAW Patrol will attend to it. He then summons the pups to the Lookout for an Ultimate Rescue. After Marshall crashes into the elevator, rolling on top of the red carpet meant to welcome the Royal Kittens, the pups head topside. As they ascend in the elevator, the PAW Patrol emblem on the Lookout changes to resemble Chase's badge. Then, the pups are seen suited up in police uniforms, and the lights circling the Lookout glow blue instead of red; the elevator also gains a blue glow.
Once topside, Ryder, also in his police uniform, briefs the pups on their Ultimate Mission. After assigning Chase and Skye their orders, he heads down the fire pole while Chase heads down the slide to his vehicle. However, once he lands in the driver's seat, Chase watches in astonishment as his vehicle, not yet completely transformed, is taken to an underground maintenance area below the Lookout. It's then upgraded to its Ultimate Rescue appearance, which is much larger and sports areas on the sides and rear for deployable police motorcycles and a helicopter.
After the transformation, it's lifted back topside. The Lookout is also lifted to provide enough room for Chase to drive out onto the driveway. The rest of the pups join him later on the Ultimate Police Cruiser as they come down the slide. Together with Ryder, who mounts a police version of his ATV and roars out of his garage with a screech of tires and burning rubber, they set off to help Cali and Katie.
Once they located the runaway cars, Skye was warned to avoid a signal gantry up ahead that was blinking red "DANGER" signals before she could airlift Katie and Cali to safety. Once they were safe on the ground, Skye returned to the main vehicle as they pursued the locomotive.
Realizing that the PAW Patrol was already on their tail, Humdinger had the Catastrophe Crew activate the track switch mechanism behind them, causing the locomotive and the cars to split into three different paths. This forced Chase to divert his attention to saving the Butler and Mr. Hudson from the runaway passenger car and caboose first.
As a result of that diversion, it gave Humdinger time to have the Catastrophe Crew replace the locomotive's wheels and side rods with road tires so they could take it onto the roads to reach the museum faster. He also introduced the Royal Kittens as the newest members of the Catastrophe Crew, with Henry dressed up as Tracker and Elizabeth as Everest. Elizabeth, however, left her toque behind as it popped off her head when she boarded the locomotive again, as they continued to the museum.
Back with the other parts of the train, Rocky uses his police scanner to find some brown fur, which is identified as cat fur due to Chase's allergies. Chase also finds the top hat from Humdinger's earlier disguise. While they found those leads, Marshall and Zuma's interrogation of Mr. Hudson reveals that whoever kicked him out of the locomotive had six kittens with him. Putting all that evidence together, Ryder and Chase realize that Humdinger is the culprit. Ryder calls the pups back to Chase's Ultimate Police Cruiser, and they soon locate where Humdinger had the locomotive converted to traveling on roads via the discarded drive wheels and side rods, along with Elizabeth's discarded toque. With tire tracks indicating where the locomotive went, they head back to Adventure Bay once Chase realizes Humdinger is after the Purple Jeweled Kitty.
Back in Adventure Bay, Goodway and Francois are still finishing up preparations before leaving to fetch some polish for the pedestal that the Purple Jeweled Kitty rests on, turning on the laser grid alarm system as they do. However, after they leave, Humdinger sneaks in, and despite some problems with the laser grid, he and the Catastrophe Crew manage to get Henry and Elizabeth over to open the Purple Jeweled Kitty's container, allowing Humdinger to swipe it. Outside, Farmer Al and Farmer Yumi are excited for the museum's opening, only to notice Humdinger's getaway vehicle. Mistaking it as part of the exhibit, Al goes in to take a look, resulting in him being taken for a ride when Humdinger, unaware, makes his getaway. The PAW Patrol then arrives shortly after Humdinger leaves in the Ultimate Police Cruiser.
Upon discovering the alarm still active, Skye thinks that they made it in time, until Chase sees that the Purple Jeweled Kitty is already missing. Goodway and Francois return to discover the theft and shut off the security alarm. Yumi soon arrives and mentions the antique locomotive parked outside the museum, which made Al curious. Putting two and two together, Ryder, Chase, and the rest of the police pups set off in pursuit in the Ultimate Police Cruiser.
Meanwhile, Humdinger believes he's won, until he hears Chase and the red-and-blue lights of the law outside the locomotive. However, even when Al reveals himself, totally oblivious to what's going on, Humdinger attempts to make a getaway by shoveling more coal into the locomotive's firebox. Chase and Ryder then decide that the only way to stop Humdinger is to take out his tires. To do that, they have Skye and Rocky go on ahead to lay down a spike strip on the road. Soon after the locomotive drove over it, the spikes punctured all the tires, and sent the locomotive careening all over the place until it spun out and stopped in front of the museum again.
Humdinger staggers out in a daze, still claiming the statue as his, before it is rightfully reclaimed by Goodway, the Butler, and a very annoyed Katie. The Royal Kittens, soon after, appear out of the locomotive and are greeted and welcomed to Adventure Bay by Goodway and Chickaletta. Al stumbles out of the locomotive afterwards, commenting on having had enough of trains for a while, and Humdinger himself agrees as he prepares to flee. However, Mr. Hudson stops him and punishes Humdinger for stealing the locomotive and modifying it. He has him and the Catastrophe Crew work a handcar as the temporary locomotive to drive the train back to Foggy Bottom, which he mentions should take about two days to get back to, further annoying Humdinger together with his bad luck losing once again to the PAW Patrol.
