Bob decides to create a makeshift zip line in the backyard by tying a rope to a tree branch. PJ, Gabe, and Bob take turns travelling down the zip line, but when it's Gabe's turn, he accidentally flies off the end and lands in the neighboring tree, unable to get down. Bob, PJ, and Gabe's attempts to rescue him only result in them getting stuck up in the tree as well.

When she arrives at home, Teddy finds her whole family stuck up in the tree and tries to come up with a plan to rescue them. After brainstorming with Bob and PJ, Teddy comes up with the idea of using a ladder to climb up and retrieve the family members. In the end, everyone is rescued and they all learn the importance of doing things together as a family.
