Plot[]

Relaxing at the watering hole, Beshte arrives towards Nirmala, Baliyo, Fuli, and Kion seeing Bunga remembering his encounter with Binga. Nirmala then tells Kion that it is time for his healing session to begin to which Nirmala takes Kion to be healed. After noticing Baliyo who is exhausted, he talks with Beshte about all the animals being friendly to him back in the Pride Lands to which Baliyo explains that there are a lot of amazing animals that are friendly here too as Beshte decides to find the friendly animals.

Meanwhile in the tundra, a polar bear named Tangaagim approaches Beshte who explains that a polar bear's fur helps camouflage with the snow to make it harder to see as he tells him to get as low as he can when walking on ice and stomp on it. Stomping like what the polar bear does, he tells him to know if he could find any other animals that are friendly to him to which he tells him to check out the penguins who do interesting things down there as he enjoys them sliding down from hill to lake. Beshte then decides to talk to the penguins. Upon seeing the penguins slide down due to Beshte slipping on the slide and exclaiming "Poa", the lead penguin tells his rookery to know why would Beshte ruin his slide, thinking he is a menace to them.

Beshte then arrives to a cliff where he sees a herd of mountain goats leaping for fun. A male and female mountain goat named Cek and Rama notice debris crumbling as Beshte does not notice this while he continues to find other animals. The goats, however, get angry about Beshte for being a menace to not only the penguins but also to the goats. Beshte then arrives to a pond where he sees two shrews named Tsah and Salem walking on water like common basilisks as they end up getting caught in a small wave, upsetting them. The shrews then get angry about Beshte for being a menace to the tundra animals. The shrews then decide to tell the Night Pride about Beshte, along with the mountain goats who then decide to warn the Night Pride. The lead penguin then tells the tundra animals that Beshte is a menace to the tundra animals as the tundra animals decide to warn the Night Pride about the incident with the hippopotamus. Pinguino claims that he remembers everything about the hippo, but his story turns to be highly exaggerated as he described Beshte in his song.

The tundra animals arrive to Baliyo who tell him about Beshte to which Baliyo tells them the Night Pride can handle this situation. Beshte arrives towards Baliyo who needs to go to Rani to take care of "Poa the Destroyer" for causing trouble to the tundra animals. Meanwhile, a nearby fox named Astuto notices Beshte approaching as she retreats and Beshte stomps over her den to which she agrees with what Pinguino, the lead penguin, told the other animals about "Poa the Destroyer". Back at the shrews' pond, Beshte tries to talk to the shrews again but they refuse to talk as they think he is a menace. Back with the herd of mountain goats, they tell him they saw no monster attacking them. On ice again, Beshte walks like what the polar bear does.

Upon talking to Tangaagim, he recognizes Beshte that he is a menace to him. Arriving at the penguins' slide, he asks if they told Baliyo if they saw a monster to which they never saw one. He tells the penguin to let him know if they saw the monster they were talking about. Pinguino then notices the mess on the ice slide as he tells the other penguins that the Night Pride will hear about this incident. Meanwhile, Baliyo and Rani are figuring out why would Beshte attack Ullu and the Night Pride to which they approach Pinguino who is angry that "Poa the Destroyer" came back and damaged the ice slide once again. He tells the two about what he did with the shrews and mountain goats and also to what he did to a fox's den. Rani and Baliyo decide to handle the situation about "Poa the Destroyer" which Pinguino told the two to which Rani realizes that "Poa" is not really a name but rather Beshte. Rani then decides to talk to Kion about this while telling Baliyo to find the Lion Guard.

Meanwhile, frogs continuously hop on Kion to keep him relaxed as Rani tells Nirmala that she needs to talk to him. Rani then tells Kion to know what is happening to Beshte as she tells him that Baliyo is gathering the Guard to the Tree of Life. Elsewhere, Beshte tells Rani and Baliyo about why the tundra animals are scared of him to which Rani explains that he demolished the penguins' ice slide, threw rocks at the goats, knocked over the shrews with a tidal wave at their pond, and trampled a fox's den. Beshte feels upset about himself that they think he is a menace to the tundra animals as Beshte decides to go to a place with no animals as the Lion Guard is worried about Beshte upset. Ono then remembers what Bunga said about everyone loving Beshte to which he tells the tundra animals to know about Beshte as a plan to bring the tundra animals to the Tree of Life.

Meanwhile, Beshte talks to a butterfly if it is afraid of him to which it flaps its wings to explain it's not afraid of him as he decides to convince the tundra animals that he is not a menace just like what his father Basi said. Beshte talks to Astuto, the fox about not being a menace to which she refuses to talk. At the tundra, Baliyo talks to Pinguino about Rani wanting to see them at the Tree to which Baliyo explains it's not a party at the Tree as they witness Bunga and Tangaagim approaching him. Bunga asks him to know if he saw Beshte to which he decides to gather the tundra animals to know about him but Pinguino refuses to listen to him. Approaching Beshte, Pinguino is extremely frightened upon seeing the hippo. Beshte tells him that he is not a menace as Pinguino refuses to listen to him as Pinguino does not notice he is falling off a ridge.

Beshte then rescues Pinguino from falling to his demise as he forgives Beshte for being rude to him. Meanwhile, the tundra animals are gathered at the Tree for coming as it is a misunderstanding to which Kion tells him that "Poa" is not his name but his name his actually "Beshte" and Beshte is not destructive to the animals. Bunga arrives with Tangaagim and the other penguins to the spot. After Rani notices Pinguino is not here, she tells Anga to find him to which she found him riding on Beshte. Pinguino tells the shrews and the tundra animals that Beshte is not a destroyer but rather a life saver as he thanks Beshte for saving him as Tangaagim apologizes to Beshte for misunderstanding him as they cheer for "Poa" (Beshte) for saving him.
