While Petey, Poppy and Pablo tussle inside the pug house, Dee Dee plays on the deck steps in the backyard. Mom passes by, about to throw a cardboard box into the recycling bin, and Dee Dee borrows and places it on her head to pretend she's a robot. The pugs spy her through the window and race outside as she enters the pen and transforms the box into a pirate ship, with her as Pirate Dee Dee. A phone call from Grandma sends Dee Dee off to say hello, and curious Penny ends up overturning the box on top of her. When the other pugs discover she's stuck inside the box, they must alert Dee Dee for help. Dee Dee to the rescue, as she picks up the box and saves Penny. Now it's back to more Pirate Dee Dee and the pugs sailing in their cardboard pirate ship!
