Buttons & Rusty Meet the Danger Rangers: The Landmark Thief

Buttons & Rusty Meet the Danger Rangers: The Landmark Thief is the first direct-to-video film starring Buttons & Rusty and the Danger Rangers. It is the first of the Buttons & Rusty and the Chucklewood Critters direct-to-video series.

Synopsis
Taking place after the events of Season 1 of Welcome to Chucklewood, the Danger Rangers visit Chucklewood, where they ask Buttons and Rusty to help track a landmark thief, which stole Mount Rushmore and most of the world's most famous manmade landmarks and which happens to be someone the boy cubs know.

Plot
After the opening credits in space, where Buttons and Rusty along the Danger Rangers sing the Danger Rangers theme song, the film begins with Ranger Jones' introduction line, we then go to Buttons and Rusty's bedroom, where the two of them are playing with their AbaRed, Bouken Yellow, Ookami Blue, NinjaBlack and OhGreen action figures and a stuffed monster. Then, their folks come in, telling them that the forecast is for warm weather and telling them to go outside and do something. In China, a group of tourists visit the Great Wall. While a family takes a picture, the landmark deflated, thanks to a boy flying his toy airplane. It is discovered that it is stolen. This was detected by SAVO, and the Danger Rangers are informed. The Danger Rangers then evacuate Mount Rushmore, place a SAVO safety pod in front of the landmark to detect the thief and prepare to pick up the Junior Danger Rangers from around the world.

While the boy cubs play hide-and-seek, Rusty trips over a giant log and ends up getting hurt. Luckily, he sees Johnny. He tells Rusty to watch where he is going and bandages him. Rusty then manages to find Buttons and suggests that they do something else. Meanwhile, after calling out the names of the Junior Danger Rangers (Bradley and Beth the Wolves, Alro the Armadillo, Phillip the Koala, Kevin Masker, Angela the Elephant, Matt the Donkey, Talya Mendoza, Derek the Fox, Nora the Chipmunk, Mateo the Gazelle, Lucky Curl, Ben and Sam the Tigers, Sarah the Rabbit, Ricky Masker, Harry Hopper, George Whiskers, Annie Barker, KC the Chimp, Noah the Beagle, Chase Smith, Haiden Blomendale, Starr Briscoe, Myron Moore, Cole Smith, Lisa Quinn, Parker Blomendale, Jaden Briscoe, Ellen Margonis, Kelly Peters, Dylan Briscoe, Madeline Ouzts, Trevor Smith, Chloe Verhallen, Riley Briscoe, Bucky Header, Anna Motton, Feed Plinistone, Rosy O'Grady Zoot, etc.), everyone is alerted by SAVO that his safety pod has spotted the landmark thief as he steals Mount Rushmore using a shrink ray gun and saying "I'll make sure that bear cub, Buttons and that fox cub, Rusty don't foil my plan!" All of them were briefed by Chief Danger Ranger Sully, who recommends that they all pay the boy cubs a visit. Back in Chucklewood, the boy cubs fly kites with Freddie but one of the tails got loose. Buttons attempts to pull Freddie's tail, but Freddie told him a cloth tail. Meanwhile, back at the cave, while the folks are cleaning the cave, the Danger Rangers walk up to them and Sully tells them that they're looking for the boy cubs and asks where to find them. Bridgette tells him that they're somewhere in the forest. The Danger Rangers keep walking until they hear someone ask "Are you looking for our boyfriends?" It was the girl cubs, who saw them ask the boy cubs' folks while they were sunbathing. Frisky tells Kitty that they haven't seen them yet. Then, Franklin arrives and tells Burble that the boy cubs were seen on the edge of Chucklewood Lake. As the Danger Rangers went there, the boy cubs skip stones with Turner. As Buttons skips a stone, he sees bubbles coming out of the water. Sully (in his swimming trunks) appears from the lake and the rest of the Danger Rangers appear, doing the same. They introduce themselves, what they do and their motto ("Safety Rules!"). Buttons remarks that they seem very familiar and Rusty asks what they are doing in Chucklewood. The Danger Rangers then tell them about stolen landmarks and ask them if they know the landmark thief, showing them the thief with Sully's SAVO watch. The boy cubs recognize the thief as Drakson Badenov, who is a former FBI agent and college friend of Zak Vaderman, who they caught robbing a bank on their 10th birthday and stopped from getting away with it. Sully then talks to them how SAVO can detect a Danger Alert. Understanding that something must be done, Buttons and Rusty decide to introduce the Danger Rangers to Jonesy.

At the Ranger Station, Jonesy and Roddy are playing Chutes and Ladders. After Jonesy beats Roddy, Roddy grabs lunch from the refrigerator but he trips and falls down. Suddenly, there's a knock at the door, Jonesy sees the boy cubs introducing the Danger Rangers and explains to him about the landmark thief. Gabriela then sees Roddy on the floor and being tripped over a broom and bandages him. Jonesy realizes that he doesn't have a first aid kit. The Danger Rangers sing a bit of Be Prepared. The boy cubs were impressed that the Danger Rangers can sing. Roddy suggests that they gather every critter in Chucklewood for a staff meeting. Buttons and Rusty hold the meeting near Franklin's cave that afternoon, introducing the Danger Rangers to and informing everyone about the landmark thief. Meanwhile, in an ice cream parlor called "Manderbill's," the Danger Rangers' rivals (Quentin V. Manderbill, his henchmen, Henri Ennui, the Frinjas, Buck Huckster, Knuckles, Jake the Dog, Commander Octodon, Lobster Theodore, Joey Clams, Wally the Walrus, Tip, Pip and Company, Rusty Ringtail, Snarf, Chili Dog, Lonnie and Jenkins, Chancy McSpill, Duncan, Harry the Hippo, Worley the Weasel and his gang (all who happen to be Zak, Delilah and Gourmad's rivals)) hold their own meeting there, where they see a news anchor on TV saying that whoever retrieves the landmarks and catches the thief will be given the award of $1,000,000. As Worley and his gang plan to use some of the money as the grand prize of an (?) eating contest to children along with a trip to see the Statue of Liberty, they see a group of kids talking about the Danger Rangers teaming up with the boy cubs as they enter the line. Worley approaches them, (?) and takes the picture of the boy cubs from them. He walks back inside and mentions about the boy cubs to the rest and that they teamed up with the Danger Rangers. Octodon worries that if the Danger Rangers and the boy cubs find the thief, they'll get the reward money before they do and Lobster Theodore worries that they'll be in a heap of trouble too but Jake reassures Octodon and Lobster Theodore, telling them that the Danger Rangers and the boy cubs will never find the thief. Quentin replies to Jake's comment "That is if we work together and stop them."

Back in Chucklewood, Burble trains the boy cubs how to act like Danger Rangers. Then, they board the hovercraft...
