Recap[]
The episode starts out with the preschool students off-screen, leaving school at the end of the day. They say goodbye to the classroom pets. The classroom is decorated with student artwork and other items that involve penguins and the South pole. Once the classroom is vacant, the phone with a light blue popsicle stick with a snowflake on top starts ringing. One by one, the classroom pets wordlessly notice the ringing phone (Linny is eating celery, Ming-Ming is shaking with her feathers ruffling, and Tuck is climbing a rock.). The Wonder Pets get dressed and make their way towards the phone while singing their opening verses. They answer the phone and find out that there's an animal in trouble somewhere. Linny explains the situation to the other two: a baby penguin caught on an iceberg. They all jump into a box filled with fabric scraps and jump back out, wearing wrong clothes. Then they all laugh and jump back into the box and emerge in their Wonder Pets capes. Once dressed, they assemble a flying toy sailboat called "The Flyboat" from classroom objects: a red Frisbee for a body, purple magic marker caps as rocket exhausts, a marble, blue and yellow wheels, blue Erector pieces for a mast, and a sheet of paper for the sail, but three of the wheels are missing. Then Ming-Ming found a wheel up on that shelf. She flies to get it. Tuck spots a wheel inside the fish tank, so he jumps and gets the wheel because he's a good swimmer. Then Linny found a wheel in the water table. She knows how to row. Then the pets get their wheels and finish the Flyboat. They take off and exit through the cubbyhole covered by a red cardboard chicken up into the air and sing the theme song. They arrived at the South Pole in Antarctica, where they saw two whales (a whale and a baby whale) and six seals. They land and find the baby penguin. Tuck spotted tracks in the snow. Those led to the baby penguin. They tip-toe - Linny thinks the baby penguin must've crossed a patch of ice. They skate on the ice. The ice is slippery! They have to try and keep their balance. Linny skates a figure, and Tuck and Ming-Ming join her. They skate by standing on each other's shoulders. Ming-Ming tries to make a triple Lutz, but she slips and falls down. She was saved by her feathery bottom. Tuck spots more tracks. The Wonder Pets exit the ice patch. They tip toe again. Ming-Ming asked Linny where the tracks went again. Linny answered that the baby penguin walked to the edge of the ice, and then a big piece of ice broke off and floated away. A big piece of ice is called an iceberg. Ming-Ming spotted the baby penguin caught on the iceberg. They lifted and jumped onto a rowboat to get across. The wind is blowing hard. Linny's not sure they can make it. Ming-Ming says, "This is SEWIOUS!". They know what to do. Linny rows the boat, Ming-Ming flies harder, and Tuck kicks his feet in the water because he's a good swimmer. They work together to row the boat faster. The iceberg brakes, and Linny picks up the penguin. The penguin is all right. The Wonder Pets and the baby penguin head back to shore. The mother and father penguin came to reunite him. Then the Wonder Pets celebrated with some celery, say goodbye to the penguins, and then flew back into the classroom, singing the reprise version of the theme song. Upon arrival, they wordlessly return to their cages. Ming-Ming flies back in her cage, and Tuck jumps into his cage. The Flyboat smoothly disassembles, and Linny parachutes to her cage, with her cap & cape coming off magically, then she takes a bite out her celery and winks as the episode ends.
