When Flappy is on vacation and Rocky Ranger is unable to save everyone like he always does he finds that he can still help inspire them to save themselves, which is also a good deed. He rewards himself with a sleep break.; The boys go out bragging that they are going hunting monsters and that the girls have to stay behind to sweep out the clubhouse. The girls follow them and find out that they are hunting monster pieces of fruit, not monsters. They put on a dinosaur disguise to scare them but they attract a dinosaur that chases them instead. They manage to chase away the dinosaur by tickling his feet and making him fall over. When he falls over it knocks a lot of fruit out of the trees and they take the boys there to brag about how they also could get a lot of fruit. When they get there, a Scoopisnootus is gathering up the food and it convinces the boys and girls that they both need to stay at the clubhouse.; When Buddy and Sheepy are flying they have a problem with the birds carrying them dive-bombing for food and throwing them all over the place. They decide they need to come up with a new way to fly. They create a working air balloon but a flying dragon burns it up. They crash land in Fly Valley where everything that flies has an address. They come up with the idea of two pelicans holding food in their beaks to fly them so that they can eat while flying.; When Rocky Ranger and Flappy rescue Sheepy from a fall he rewards them with bubble gum. Rocky refuses but Flappy eats some, blews a huge bubble, and it makes him float away. When it pops Flappy falls on top of a Mastadon saving a lollipop salesman. He rewards them with a huge lollipop, which Rocky reluctantly accepts after Flappy licks it. Flappy turns out to be a horrible flyer when he focuses more on lollipop licking than flying.; The Cave Kids find a trunk with instruments inside. They decide they can have some fun playing the instruments and at the same time the owner of the trunk might hear them and can come back and claim it. Instead, they attract a bunch of animals. The Cave Kids hide in a tree and figure out that each animal attracted makes a noise like one of the instruments. They use the hollow tree like a megaphone and call for help. The owners of the instruments, a circus that uses the instruments to attract animals for the circus, show up to rescue them and thank the Cave Kids for their help. To reward them they give them a special show, including lots of free food!; Wally Gator decides he wants to be a detective and sets out to catch a pickpocket. After he messes up and reveals the private detectives on duty he has to find the pickpocket on his own. While talking to Kooky Kangaroo he finds out that someone has been feeding him for the use of his pouch to hide "family heirlooms". Wally catches him by putting mousetraps in the pouch instead.; When a policeman walks up on Sandy and Sally catching a dinosaur with a rope they switch to jumping rope so they don't get in trouble.; Sheepy is swinging through the forest on vines when he accidently grabs onto an animal's tail and is pulled behind him.
