Plot
Buttons and Rusty welcome the viewers and tells then how they are doing. How many adventures they done. And they introduce their last adventure together, this time with their children.

A gang of three bad critters (Harvey Weasel, Ronald Wolf and Sid Raccoon) visit a unknown place, where they see the remains of the Zak Vaderman's Villains Club. They use a spell to bring the Villains Club back to life as demons (similar to Frankenstein). Zak mentions that the fight will decide the fate of all critters. The battle against them as humans may be over, but the battle against them as demons is just beginning. The demons scan Chucklewood, Crystal Bayou and Fort Caulderdale and see that all of their old enemies are married. Harvey decides to go to Chucklewood while Ronald goes to Crystal Bayou and Sid visits Fort Cauldrdale.

In Chucklewood, Rusty and Frisky's children explore the forest and look at the abandoned logging chute that Rusty and his best friend, Buttons used to ride on. The family tries the chute and played in the lake. One day, their children start school, which Burble serves as their teacher. They learn from him that Miss Love retired and was chosen from a field of twenty critters to serve as her replacement. Burble was selected due to his experience as a Danger Ranger. One day, the fox family's neighbor, Kitty and her teenage adopted daughter, Natasha sunbathed and Natasha dreams on being a Danger Ranger one day. Suddenly, an explosion is heard and looking through Kitty's binoculars, a weasel named Harvey has blown a bridge near the school. That afternoon, while picking berries, Rusty and Frisky, receive an urgent telegram from Kitty stating about the weasel blowing the bridge. Ranger John stopped by the Fox family cave and head to the school to investigate.

In Crystal Bayou, Buttons and Bearbette's children meet Lester's nephew, Paul, who is patrolling the bayou since Lester moved to a nursing home. Together, they played the Creeper Leaper and do the Bayou Critters Romp. Then (in a flashback sequence), Buttons and Bearbette tell their children a brief story of how his grandmother visited his old neighborhood one day. During dinner, Paul tries to remember the recipe for jambalaya so he and the Bear family decides to search for the recipe in Lester's old home. Just then, Ronald sneaks into to the home and asks their children to help out but they then get captured. On the border of the bayou, Sully and his son Sully Jr., who were vacationing heard a serious sound of loud steps. They see Ronald carrying the children in a covered up box. Ronald then calls Harvey and tells him the plans are ready. Ronald then puts them on a plane towards Fort Caulderdale which unfortunately heads for a place unknown!

In Fort Caulderdale, Freddie and Sophia's children go to school, where Chris and Martin Wildcatt serve as guests. After their first day of school, Zeke, Courtney and Lawrence get snatched in the tails by Sid Raccoon, who plans on torturing them to make clothes out of raccoon fur. On the beach, Freddie and Sophia blow stomachs at each other until they get a phone call by Martin that their children have been captured by an unknown mean raccoon. Freddie and Sophia follow the Wildcatts into an old abandoned campsite, where they see raccoon tracks and a ransom note. "Harvey and Ronald: I got the three raccoons, look for me in the valley soon and follow my tracks. Mr. V will begin the battle. - Sid." In Silver Creek Valley, Turner sees footprints of Gourmad and Zak, he then looks at them and says "Aren't they dead!?" Back in Chucklewood, Ranger John, Rusty, Frisky, Kitty and Natasha visited the Little Critter School to investigate the scene. The mouse family decides to help out as well. In his office, Burble shows the gang the videotape of recess and sees the fox children and another student vanishing from the playground. After recess, he searched all around the school, after countless minutes, he decided to send the students home for the rest of the day so that he can investigate. The gang arrives at the scene where the bridge exploded. They see fox and weasel prints near the bank of the bridge which leads into ravine into a cave. Using an old SONAR motion detector from Sully, Burble and Kitty's old friend, G.B. (Gabriela), they found one of Burble's classmates named Chuck in a river. Kitty swims into the river and rescues him. Burble then lectures Chuck about wandering away from school during recess. Using his critter phone, he plays a clip of the Danger Rangers episode, Cave Save accompanied by the title song. Then, he called his folks to take him home. Meanwhile, Kitty picked up a ransom note: "I got the foxes. Meet me at G.G.'s place. - Harvey." Rusty and Frisky learned that their children have been kidnapped by Harvey. They later received a phone call from the Bear and Raccoon families that their children have been captured as well and tells them about the ransom note. The gang travels to Fort Caulderdale to discuss what happened. Upon arrival, Sully's family tells the group about the box. Along with the audio evidence he recorded on his SAVO watch. Suddenly, to their surprise, they see demon versions of the villains they've encountered years ago.

In an abandoned place, Sid develops a fur cutting machine, which can remove the furs off of raccoons. He puts the raccoon children on a conveyer belt. Just as the knives begin to cut the raccoons, the machine is stopped by Burble. He notices that Sid is a friend of his old rival, Rusty Ringtail. Burble (despite being a retired Danger Ranger) chews on Sid's tail and captures him in a box, arresting him. The raccoon children reunite with their folks. Just then, Freddie receives a phone call from the Wildcatts about the whereabouts of the children. Meanwhile, inside another abandoned place, the bear children are thinking about their folks when they see them. Ronald then prepares a secret honey which can places them in a deep, deep sleep. Buttons and Bearbette tell the gang they were looking for a recipe of jambalaya. The gang then hears groaning and went to the hideout where they see the bear children asleep. Buttons and Bearbette tried many ways to wake them up but to no avail. They summoned...
