Plot

The episode starts with Dora and Boots at a party to celebrate Friendship Day, a special time of year where everyone from around the world wears friendship bracelets. Boots really wants to see the bracelets, and Dora asks the viewer if he/she wants to. When he/she says "Yes", Dora and Boots go and see the bracelets. Then the friendship day song happens, and while they sing, Benny, Isa, and Tico arrive. After the song finishes, Dora mentions that when everyone wears the bracelets, they will glow and light up the sky. Suddenly, Swiper comes to swipe the bracelets. Isa mentions that everyone has to stop him, but they are too late anyway. However, Dora stops Swiper herself by telling him that they are friendship bracelets, and she even has one for him. Swiper then tells Dora that he has flown his Swiper-copter all around the world swiping bracelets, not knowing they were friendship bracelets. He regrets what he has done. Boots is appalled by this realization, and then Dora's friends from around the world, known as Amelie, who is from France, N'Dari, who is from Tanzania, Vladimir, who is from Russia and Mei, who is from China, call Dora for help. There are no bracelets in any of those countries and the entire world would soon declare war and not be friends forever! Swiper tries to rev up his Swiper-copter to return the bracelets, but it suddenly breaks down. Swiper gives up, but Dora tells him that they have to bring back the bracelets and that they can do it together as frenemies! Everyone else cheers, and then Dora checks the Map on where to go to bring back the bracelets. First, they must go to the Eiffel Tower in France, then Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, then the Winter Palace in Russia, and then to the Great Wall of China. Dora asks the viewer where they go first, and the answer is the Eiffel Tower. Dora and Swiper look for the Eiffel Tower, and it is seen on the other side of the ocean. Then a ship came and stopped at the dock for them. Dora asks Boots to stay and be in charge, and away she and Swiper go! They sing the Travel Song, and then they look for land. Land appeared, and then they and the viewer said, "Land, Ho!" They exit the ship and Dora changes into French clothes. They sing "Hello" to everyone, but in French, which is "Bonjour". Dora bumps into Amelie, and then they greet each other by kissing. Amelie tells Dora that there are no friendship bracelets. Swiper happens to have them, but then a 2nd "Swiper", known as Fifi the Skunk, makes a whisking sound, making Amelie tell everyone that the sneaky skunk is always trying to swipe their stuff. Dora asks the viewer if he/she sees the skunk, and there she is on the flower bed. Everyone runs away, and then the path splits two ways. There happens to be a smiling Gargoyle to help them. He tells them to use the diamond-stone path. They were on the second street. They go that way and then the path splits again, but in three different ways. Another Gargoyle tells them that a circle-stone path leads to the Eiffel Tower. They were on the third street. They go down that street and end up at the Eiffel Tower. Swiper gives back the bracelets, and here comes Fifi again. She was one step away from swiping the bracelets. Dora told the viewers that they have to say, "Fifi, no swiping" to stop her. Everyone said, "Fifi, no swiping!" three times, and then she said, "Alors, zut!" as her "Oh man!" After Fifi was successfully stopped, Dora, Swiper, and Amelie gave back the friendship bracelets and the Fiesta Trio played their fanfare. Suddenly, Boots called, and there he was on a TV. He mentioned that more friends showed up at the party, such as the Grumpy Old Troll. He cannot wait to get a bracelet. Boots also mentioned that the bracelets are slowly starting to glow, and they have to hurry. Swiper then asks where they go next, and then Dora asks the viewers, and the answer is Mount Kilimanjaro. Amelie mentioned that the mountain was very far away, and then Dora asked if something was there to give them a ride. Luckily, there was a motor scooter for them to ride to Tanzania. Amelie gives them helmets, gives Dora one more kiss, thanks her for bringing back the friendship bracelets, wishes Swiper good luck, and off they go to Tanzania! The Travel Song is heard once more. When they get off the motor scooter, Swiper notices the mountain, which means they arrived in Tanzania! Dora changes into Tanzanian clothes, and then sings "Jambo" to everyone, which is the Tanzanian way of saying "Hello". N'Dari later calls for Dora, and then she notices him. He mentions that the kids are at Mountain with no bracelets. Luckily, Swiper has them to return. They ride an elephant to get to the mountain, and N'Dari warns them about the wild animals. They notice one zebra, two lions, three giraffes, four hippos, and five elephants. When they counted the elephants, N'Dari told Dora that she had forgotten the elephant that they were riding. That means there are six elephants altogether. After that, they arrive at Mount Kilimanjaro, and when Swiper pours some bracelets into the box, a 3rd "Swiper" known as Sammy the Hyena makes a whisking sound, and then N'Dari wants them that the sneaky hyena is always trying to swipe their stuff. When Sammy is noticed, Dora tells the viewers that they have to say, "Sammy no swiping". Everyone says, "Sammy, no swiping!" three times, and then Sammy says "Eee!" as his "Oh man!". After that, all the bracelets were returned, followed by the Fiesta Trio playing their fanfare. Suddenly, Boots calls again, and then he appears on another TV. He tells them that the Big Red Chicken came. Diego, and Baby Jaguar were also seen, but their names weren't mentioned. The Big Red Chicken told them that lots of their friends arrived. Boots then tells them that the bracelets are starting to glow, and they have to save Friendship Day. Swiper asks Dora where they go next, and then Dora does the same thing to the viewers, and the answer is the Winter Palace in Russia. Dora asks the viewers if they see the Winter Palace, and it is very far away. There was a hot air balloon for them to ride. N'Dari thanks Dora and Swiper for bringing back the bracelets, and off they go to Russia. Dora and Swiper then arrive in Russia. Swiper tells Dora that he sees the Palace, which means they made it to Russia. Dora had to dress warmly since it was cold in Russia. Dora sings "Previet" to everyone, which is Russian for "Hello". After they finished, they walked through deep snow, and it was hard to do that. Dora looks in her Backpack for something to help them get over the snow fast. Backpack asks if flashlights can get them over the snow fast, and that was a silly answer. She then asked if skis could get them over the snow fast, and that was the correct answer. Dora had the viewers say "Swush" three times to help them ski. That was then repeated another three times. They made it to the gate, but then a Purple Troll, which happened to be the Russian Grumpy Old Troll, would not let them pass. "NYET!", the troll yells, which is Russian for "NO!". Swiper thinks they'll never be able to give back the friendship bracelets, and then Vladimir comes on his skis and says Previet to Dora. She then introduces Swiper, and then Swiper tells him that the troll won't open the gate. Vladimir tells him and Dora that the Troll is very cranky, but luckily, he knows how to get him to open the gate. They must make him laugh by making silly faces like how Dora and Boots made the Yellow Grumpy Old Troll laugh in The Super Silly Fiesta. They all make silly faces, and then the troll laughs so hard that he now opens the gate. Swiper puts some bracelets in and thinks there is no "Swiper" in Russia, but a whisking sound from a 4th "Swiper", known as Fomkah the Dancing Bear is heard, proving Swiper wrong. Vladimir mentions that Fomkah is always trying to swipe their stuff. Dora asks if the viewers see the bear, and he is under a snowman outfit that has a zipper. Dora tells everyone that they have to say "Fomkah, no swiping!". Everyone says, "Fomkah, no swiping!" three times, and then Fomkah says "Oy!" as his "Oh man!". The Fiesta Trio then plays their fanfare, and then everyone gets their bracelets. Boots calls Dora again, and there he is on the TV. Even more friends showed up, such as Pinto and Baby Blue Bird. The bracelets started to glow even more. Boots told Dora to hurry. Swiper asks Dora where they go next, and then Dora asks the viewers the same question, and the answer is the Great Wall of China. Dora asks the viewers if they see the wall, and Swiper mentions that it is far away. Luckily, there was a train to get them there fast. After Dora and Swiper get on the train, Vladimir thanks Dora for her help. Dora then changed into Chinese clothes and then they made it to China. Dora and Swiper sing "Ni Hao" to everyone in China, which is Chinese for "Hello". After the song ends, the train stops near the Great Wall, and then Dora and Swiper get off. Swiper mentions that the wall is great and big, and then Dora says that their friends are on the other side. Swiper tries to climb up, fails, and then tries to give up, and Dora stops him. After that, Mei came and said that she had been looking for her since they didn't have any friendship bracelets. Swiper said that he had the friendship bracelets, but they had to go over the Great Wall to bring them back. Mei tells them that they have to super-jump. She calls three other people over, and they all super-jump together. They made it to the other side, and then Swiper brought back the bracelets. Everyone in China gets their bracelets, and then a 5th and final "Swiper", known as Ying-Ying the Weasel makes a whisking sound. Mei mentions that the weasel is always trying to swipe their stuff. Dora asks the viewers if they see a weasel, and there he is under the dragon. Dora tells the viewers that they have to stop him by saying "Ying-Ying no swiping!". Everyone says, "Ying-Ying no swiping!" three times, and then he says, "Tian Nah!", which was his "Oh man!". The Fiesta Trio then plays their fanfare. Dora and Swiper have successfully brought back all the friendship bracelets and they also successfully defeat the legion of evil international Swipers, making Swiper hope that they'll glow, Dora says that they should, which means they have to return home. Luckily, there was a plane to get them home fast. Dora hugs Mei goodbye, Mei thanks her, and home Dora and Swiper go! After the plane arrives home, Dora wears a beautiful dress and Swiper wears a blue bowtie to wear to their Friendship Day party everyone is happy to see them back home, especially Boots. Boots gives Dora a Friendship Day bracelet, but then Swiper asks if there is a Friendship bracelet for him. Luckily, there was one, and loved it! There was one more bracelet, and it was for the viewer. After giving the viewer their bracelet, the bracelets began glowing completely meaning everyone has their bracelets on; Dora then tells the viewer to hold his/her hand high in the air, and then wave his/her friendship bracelet. As everyone waved, big rainbows shined and lit up the sky as well as fireworks! Now, everyone will be friends forever and ever as Swiper and Dora have now proven themselves the true World Adventurers, showing the world that everybody can change.
