In this episode, the Backyardigans embark on a mission to help their alien friends with a problem on their farm. The aliens have a large harvest of alien raspberries that require picking, but their robotic pickers are malfunctioning. The Backyardigans are called in to help save the crop.

Pablo, Uniqua, Tyrone, Tasha, and Austin board their spaceship and make their way to the planet of the aliens. Upon their arrival, they spot the farm surrounded by a force field, which they penetrate using their special space suits. The group is met by the alien creatures who explain that their harvest of alien raspberries is in danger of going bad if they do not get them picked soon. The alien robots tasked with picking the raspberries are not functioning correctly.

The Backyardigans are quick to volunteer their assistance and are soon taught the ins and outs of raspberry picking on their alien friend's farm.

As they start picking, they notice that the rock formations on the planet are shaped like animals. With their natural curiosity, Pablo, Uniqua, and Austin venture off to explore more. They encounter some wild aliens and have to use their quick thinking and resourcefulness to avoid danger. Meanwhile, back on the farm, Tasha and Tyrone are trying to figure out the root of the problem with the malfunctioning robots.

As the group works on the farm, they notice that the robots are picking only the ripe berries and leaving the unripe ones. They realize that the robots' programming needs to be changed to make it more efficient. After a little experimentation, they come up with a new program, and the robots are soon able to pick the berries quickly and efficiently. With the problem solved, the group celebrates their successful mission.

In the end, the Backyardigans say their goodbyes to their alien friends and board their spaceship for their return to Earth. They are proud of the work they have accomplished and leave their alien friends with an endless supply of raspberry jam.

Overall, "Ranch Hands From Outer Space" is a fun-filled space adventure that showcases the group's creativity, resourcefulness, and teamwork. With its imaginative story and colorful graphics, this episode is sure to capture the attention of young viewers and spark their curiosity about outer space.
