Plot[]
The short starts with Peashooter and Chomper walking down a roadside in Suburbia. Chomper asks Peashooter if there will be a flood of water coming to a river, but Peashooter tells him environmental volunteers need to take a few hours to get work done. Chomper responds how long the water will come out and Peashooter tells him it doesn’t come until after work, but he continues to bother Peashooter about the water coming making Peashooter get him to be silent. Peashooter tells Chomper he doesn’t have any idea as long as the volunteers do what they are told to do. Until then, they hear a loud honk of a truck. The truck approaches in the way making the Plants get shocked and jump off the road leftward. Landed on a ditch, Peashooter points at the side-road sign tells Chomper it says “Warning! No Pedestrian Crossing”. Chomper apologizes to him that he can’t behave on the directions they take. Peashooter believes that it’s not very important to not be focused on where they are going and asks Chomper why they ended up on an empty ditch, but Chomper shrugs which means they don’t know what happened. Peashooter and Chomper look at the ground looking dirty, brown and ploughed, which turns out that it is an empty ditch with no water and Chomper tells Peashooter he is right. It was filthy and dry as well as it looks. Peashooter tells Chomper he was not too careful this time, but Chomper thinks he could be a little more patient than he had been before. They walked around the entire ditch having a conversation until ironically, they see a stoned dam blocking the water. Chomper asks Peashooter if the dam will break open and release the water, but Peashooter suggests that it might not be safe enough to hold the water out. Chomper believes what Peashooter said about how long it takes to get the job done and recover the river, so Peashooter and Chomper figure out a way to solve the problem, then Peashooter gets an idea: In three different random ways, Peashooter and Chomper use a mallet to smash the dam into pieces, but it doesn’t work, they try a shovel to dig the stones out, but it is no good, they tried blowing up the dam with TNT, but it turns out to be a toy, not an actual TNT. After all that, they pant thinking they give up, as they believe that would take a long time to break the dam. Later, Kernel Corn arrives and asks Peashooter and Chomper what they are up to. Peashooter tells Kernel Corn their journey went ridiculous assuming that they are having a hard time giving the river its water back and can’t get rid of the dam in one single crack. Kernel Corn knows it would be unreliable to get help from someone they know as a regular result. Realizing that Chomper was feeling ridiculous for being distracted by other things and not looking where he’s going, Chomper sticks his spikes on his head in the dam and tells Peashooter and Kernel Corn he was tumultuously a jerk. He pulls his spikes out and luckily, the dam shakes and water squirts out of the holes. Citron drops by and says hello to the Plants. Finally, the dam bursts and water splashes out and pushes the Plants down the ditch. The flood takes them to the sewer entrance. In the sewers, the Plants find a raft from the dam and get on it and hold tight together. They pass through a few Zombies and Imp looks at the Plants passing by him fast. Foot Soldier rushes to Imp and tells him the Plants are speeding through the flood. Imp hears what Foot Soldier said and calls the others to vanquish the Plants. Speeding down the sewers, Citron tells the others they will make their escape soon and Chomper and Peashooter accept what he said. Foot Soldier calls the Plants they’ve broken their bouldery dam making the Plants look at him. Kernel Corn yells at and tells him the river provides drinking water, irrigation, transportation and food deliveries. Super Brainz comes by and tells Kernel Corn the Zombies will build a bigger dam to keep the river shore dry and Engineer shows the Plants how catastrophic they are. Citron replies to the Zombies they deserve what must be done. Peashooter uses his Pea Cannon and tries to attack the Zombies, but they dodge them and Imp attacks back with his Imp Blasters and tells the Plants they won’t let them escape and giggles. Engineer fires his Concrete Launcher and Chomper catches the projectile with his Chomp and returns the projectile to Engineer landing it on his belly. Super Brainz uses his Heroic Fists and hits Citron’s leg. Luckily, his leg is okay and all four Plants attack together. Foot Soldier tells All-Star to use his Dummy Shield and All-Star gives a thumbs up. All-Star deploys his Dummy Shield and tells them they’re no match for his secret game-plan. Chomper uses his goop, splats it on the shield and writes “Fruit Flavoured Dummy Snacks” with his tongue. All-Star turns the shield around, reads what Chomper wrote down on it and explains to Foot Soldier what that sentence means. Foot Soldier uses his ZPG to knock the Plants down. The Plants dodge the missile and Kernel Corn tells the others to keep fighting. The Zombies fight back together. The Plants and Zombies dash around the entire sewers on their rafts. Citron stuns the Zombies with his E.M.Peach but Foot Soldier tells Engineer to knock it back to him. When the Plants dodge it, Engineer tells Foot Soldier they missed it. Imp chuckles and tells the others he’ll show the Plants what he has got. Luckily, Chomper realizes he and the others got away from the Zombies, until Imp deploys Z-Mech and crashes in blocking the Plants’ way. Imp chuckles and tells Z-Mech to eliminate the Plants, but the Plants push and roll Z-Mech like a ball as they continue dashing. Super Brainz points at the Plants telling the others they’re getting away. As the Plants are almost there, Z-Mech tells them they are under arrest. Imp gets Z-Mech to use his Missile Madness. As Z-Mech launches his missiles, Peashooter quickly tells Citron to activate his Peel Shield. After that, they hit each other making the screen white and fades to the river in Suburbia which takes the Plants all the way back to the place they live. Chomper insists the others to wake up until they hear what he said. The Plants see Crazy Dave’s house at the back and put the raft on the edge of the river on the ground. The Plants approach Crazy Dave’s house and they see Nate Timely and Patrice Blazing. They missed the Plants for a long time and the Plants agreed. At last, Crazy Dave comes out and thanks Nate, Patrice and the Plants for fighting alone and dashing through the sewers and even saving the river, as the short ends.
