"Mile High Heist" The Rover Empire captures Aasid the Giraffe, a great speaker who motivates the people of Kenin to resist conquest, and brings him onboard their new super-advanced airship to fly him to Roverria for execution. In order to avoid capture, the Big Cat Bandits must infiltrate the ship before takeoff and extract Aasid mid-flight, but with all the firepower they’re facing, it’s not gonna be easy.
"Get Squirrelly" When Prince's skills aren't enough to steal an experimental microchip that could give the Rover Empire robot soldiers, he calls in his old thievery master Gus for help. But when the old squirrel decides to keep the chip for himself and sell it to the highest bidder, the BCB need to catch the master thief and get their bounty back.
"Big Cat Boogie" When the notorious nightclub owner Boss Walrus announces that a priceless viking idol is going to be the trophy for his club’s dance contest, the Big Cat Bandits brush off their dancing shoes, figuring it’ll be easier to win a dance contest than try to steal it out in the open. But as Boss Walrus continues to outdance them, Prince makes the call to bring in Emmy for her first field mission.
