Story

When Ryder and the pups are invited to Barkingburg Castle for the Princess’s birthday, they’re excited to meet the Princess and give her a surprise gift. At the party, all eyes are on the precious Gem of Barkingburg, which has just been bequeathed to the Princess. The Duke of Flappington, who claims to be a distant cousin, arrives and soon shows his true character by conspiring with selfish pup Sweetie to steal the Gem for himself.

Trying to thwart the theft, Ryder and most of the pups find themselves prisoners in a remote storage chamber deep inside the Castle. Skye and two others avoid being captured but are locked outside and can’t contact Ryder. Meanwhile, the Duke is using the Gem to create a magic sceptre and make his own kingdom in the clouds.

It’s up to Skye, Ryder and the rest of the pups to save the Princess and all of Barkingburg before it’s too late.
