[2] There are some thematic elements that did not exist in the first two specials, such as the Raccoons' world being separate from that of the humans, but it is the first one to develop the look and feel of the series.

[citation needed] One night in the Evergreen Forest, Schaeffer the sheepdog is playing with his human owners, Tommy and Julie, when their father, Ranger Dan has a surprise for them.

Panicking, Schaeffer climbs into the passenger seat of the plane and is flown away from Earth and to a strange jungle planet.

Upon his arrival to a giant base filled with weaponry, he's chased by the forces of the Imperial Commander Cyril Sneer, but escapes them.

After a series of animals being rescued and recaptured, Cyril notices on a security tape that Broo has the star.

Schaeffer awakes from his long dream and sees Ranger Dan, Tommy and Julie reveal their surprise to him, which turns out to be Broo.
