When her skydiving lessons exhaust Tony enough to close down Tony's Skydiving School for a month, Hilda asks the Happy Helpers to help her find a new sport to play. She tries various things, but finally decides to participate in an obstacle course event hosted by Billy Beagle, though Hilda's opponent in this event is Pete's cousin Pineapple Patty.
Plot[]
The episode begins with Hilda Hippo and Tony going skydiving. While Hilda enjoys the thrill, Tony is exhausted and decides to close his skydiving school for a month to enjoy a vacation. To keep herself busy, Hilda calls the Happy Helpers, who agree to help Hilda find a new thrilling hobby.
The first sport is tennis, but Hilda hits the balls so hard that they make holes in the ground and Daisy's tennis racket. The second sport is rock climbing, but Hilda climbs the mountain with such ease before Minnie could even explain. The final sport is swimming, but Hilda swims so fast she splashes all of the water out of the pool. Feeling defeated, Hilda resigns her fate. The Happy Helpers feel sad that they let Hilda down, but they discover that Billy Beagle has set up a large obstacle course. The Happy Helpers bring Hilda to it, and she is excited to try it, but finds that she is competing against Pete's cousin Pineapple Patty, who has never lost.
The obstacle course is underway, and Pineapple Patty has an early lead, but Hilda catches up. She uses her tennis, rock climbing, and swimming skills to push herself ahead, and uses her skydiving to beat Pineapple Patty on the zipline and win the race. Hilda is excited to do it all again next year. The episode ends with Pete saying he'll compete against Hilda next year, but embarrasses himself as he tries to go through the obstacle course.
