Summary[]
One night, the Octonauts wake up to a mysterious distress call, from Tweak's childhood home, the Florida Everglades. They discover it's from Tweak's dad Ranger Marsh; and once they arrive, they're informed about a Lightning Storm that will cause a Wildfire. Whilst the critters there know how to escape, there are some Invasive Species, who have entered the Everglades, as their new home, but don't know how to survive when a Wildfire happens. So with a little help from the new Gup-K, the Octonauts need to find them. They consist of, Spiny Sue, a Suckermouth Cat Fish, Ronnie, Donnie & Lonnie, a trio of Monitor Lizards, and a mysterious third creature, which nobody has been able to identify.
