In this episode of Chowder, titled "The Arborians", the gang encounters a group of mystical creatures known as Arborians. The Arborians are a peaceful and intelligent species who live in harmony with nature. They have the ability to control plants and are known for their incredible tree houses that they build by harnessing their powers.
Chowder, Mung Daal, Shnitzel, and Truffles are on a delivery run when they stumble upon the Arborians' village. The Arborians welcome them with open arms and offer to show them around their beautiful and magical tree houses. Chowder is amazed by the incredible structures and can't help but express his desire to have one of his own. The Arborians offer to build Chowder his own tree house, but in exchange, they ask for the gang's help in dealing with a threat to their village.
The Arborians explain that a group of trolls have been cutting down their trees, destroying their homes, and stealing their food. The Arborians, who are a peaceful species and have no experience with combat, have been unable to defend themselves against the trolls. The gang agrees to help and sets out to find the trolls.
As they venture into the forest, they encounter a group of trolls and engage in a battle. The trolls are much larger and more powerful than the gang had anticipated, and they quickly find themselves overpowered. Just when things seem hopeless, the Arborians arrive and use their powers to control the surrounding trees and brush to trap the trolls. With the trolls captured, the Arborians banish them from their land and thank the gang for their help.
In gratitude for their assistance, the Arborians begin building Chowder his own tree house. Chowder is thrilled with the prospect of having his own magical tree house and eagerly helps the Arborians with the construction. As he works, he realizes how much he enjoys being a part of the peaceful and harmonious Arborian community.
As the episode comes to a close, Chowder's tree house is finally complete. It's a magnificent structure, complete with hanging gardens, a swing, and a built-in kitchen. Chowder is overjoyed with his new home, and the Arborians invite him to stay with them permanently. They explain that they could use someone with Chowder's enthusiasm and love for nature to help them protect their village and keep it in harmony with the surrounding woods. Chowder considers their offer but ultimately decides to return to his old life with Mung Daal and the gang. The Arborians understand his decision but promise to always welcome him with open arms if he ever wishes to return. With that, Chowder bids the Arborians farewell and returns home, eager to tell his friends all about his fantastic adventure.
