After returning from a mission, the penguins are unable to bring Jason and Michelle back to Grandmum's house as the galeezel is broken. Until it's fixed the kids have to join the penguins as they battle Cavitus, who's plotting to steal the Space-T-Freeze ship. Cavitus tries to thwart the penguins by getting them angry at each other and accusing them for things they didn't do. Soon everyone learns the importance of knowing all the facts before jumping to conclusions.

The kids and Penguin Crew decide to take an undeserved break from their work and have a picnic on Rigel-13. Jason only too gladly sets aside his duties for play. By the time they arrive at Rigel-13, Jason is a full-on sluggard. No sooner do they set out their picnic baskets, then they are set upon by giant 20 foot tall ants! Escape seems impossible. All clues point to Cavitus. Jason makes the discovery that the Ants are really Rangers, sent by Admiral Strap as a protection against one of Cavitus' schemes. They seemed to be attacking Jason & the Penguins, but were really just cleaning up the mess left from the picnic.

The penguins go to the island planet of Wiki Tiki, which is in danger from a large volcano.
