  • Two parts of a meteor crashing into Earth give Dale and a crooked travel agent super stretching powers.

  • The rangers break up when Monty and Zipper refuse to help the others locate the missing tap shoes of a female dog named Canina La Fur and instead are trying to locate the cause of what has been sinking cargo ships in the Arctic Circle.
