In “Save the Gecko!/Save the What?”, the adorable trio of Wonder Pets - Linny the Guinea Pig, Tuck the Turtle and Ming-Ming Duckling - embark on yet another exciting rescue mission. The episode starts with the Wonder Pets receiving a phone call from a gecko in distress. The gecko is stuck in a glass terrarium, surrounded by toys and other obstacles that make it impossible for it to move. The Wonder Pets quickly huddle up and make a plan to save the gecko. Linny takes charge of the mission and leads the team to the home of the gecko. When they arrive, they find that the gecko’s terrarium is located on top of a high shelf. Ming-Ming, being the fearless one, volunteers to climb up to the shelf to reach the gecko. She dons a pair of goggles and a harness and begins her ascent up the shelf. Halfway up the shelf, Ming-Ming encounters a toy robot that has come to life and starts chasing her. She ducks and dodges the robot until she finally reaches the top. Once there, she carefully enters the terrarium and frees the gecko. The Wonder Pets help the gecko escape by using a tiny parachute they created using a handkerchief. With the gecko safely secured, they jump from the shelf, landing safely on a cushion provided by Linny. As the Wonder Pets celebrate their successful rescue, Tuck suddenly notices that his shell is missing. The team starts investigating and discovers that the shell has been taken by a group of hermit crabs. The Wonder Pets quickly devise a plan to retrieve the shell. They know they have to act fast because without his shell, Tuck is vulnerable to predators. Using their Wonder Pets’ Flyboat, the team follows the hermit crabs to a beach, where they witness the hermit crabs exchange Tuck’s shell with another one. The Wonder Pets realize that they have to find Tuck’s shell before the hermit crabs trade it. Guided by their leader Linny, the team scours the beach for the shell. They encounter various obstacles, including a seagull that tries to attack them, but they persevere. Finally, they find Tuck’s shell buried under the sand. The Wonder Pets dig it up and rush back to the Flyboat, with Tuck’s shell safely in their possession. As they return home, the Wonder Pets reflect on their successful missions. The episode ends with the three friends cuddled up together, happy and content after their adventures.
