Synopsis

The Cave Kids keep Rocky Ranger so busy rescuing them that he doesn't have time to eat or sleep. They decide that he needs his rest and go to Fun Valley, where they will always be safe. Unfortunately, Short Stuff thinks he is under attack by a giant so he calls Rocky out of his bathtub to rescue them. Rocky shows him that it wasn't a giant attacking him and tells them that they are always safe in Fun Valley. He takes away their clubs and builds himself a clubhouse where he can nap while they play safely.

Synopsis

The Cave Kids go on a field trip looking for rare rocks. While they are looking a bird picks up a rare rock and carries it to his nest. Short Stuff tries to follow him but he falls down the hill. The bird catches him and carries him to his nest, where he has an egg and many rare rocks that he has collected. Short Stuff knows that a bird leaves its nest once the baby is hatched so he helps the egg hatch and the bird and the baby fly away. Short Stuff can now take all of the rare rocks but his day is ruined when the car is too heavy for the driver and he and his friends have to push it home.
