In the heart of the Javanese jungle, Rex teams up with Major Dennis on a high-stakes search for the missing Wallace Ames and the legendary Pearly Tear Idol. When Ames’s daughter Nina stows away to join the mission, Rex is quick to act—saving her from a storm and fending off deadly predators before the team uncovers a dangerous trap. With danger closing in and the idol within reach, Rex’s training proves vital in a showdown that could end in triumph—or disaster.

In "Where There's Smoke -- There's Bobo!", Bobo, the determined little dog with a big heart and an even bigger fire engine, turns his latest obsession—firefighting—into an unlikely crime-fighting tool. When the Sheriff needs help tracking down three missing convicts, Bobo’s antics lead him straight to a campfire in the woods, where the fugitives are hiding. With foam, a ladder, and his usual flair, Bobo takes them down—just in time for the Sheriff to arrive. Who knew a dog with a tiny fire truck could be such a reliable partner?
