Take a Hike is the fourth episode of Pink Panther and Sons. It first aired on September 15, 1984 with The Great Bumpo.
Synopsis[]
During the hike at the forest, Panky finds himself lost while playing with the eagles so Pinky and The Rainbow Panthers start searching for his brother.
Plot[]
The Pink Panther took Pinky and Panky for a hike with the Rainbow Panthers and leaves. Punkin prepares for a snapshot as his class project with an instant camera, so he will take Murfel a snapshot but Murfel gets afraid and runs off before Punkin shots a snapshot, realizing that Murfel is invisible but Pinky says that Murfel looks shy and he makes an awkward smile. The Panthers begin to hike in the forest by grabbing tail-to-tail and arrive at the ravaged bridge whose the sign appears to say "DANGER DO NOT CROSS BRIDGE". They decide to hike again but Panky grabs a string to Pinky's sweater instead of his tail and he chases after a grasshopper, which bounces away. He is holding a string, which is pulled by Pinky, who becomes annoyed at this and puts his tail onto his paw by telling not to let go of it.
While the Panthers hiking, Panky accidentally lets go of Pinky's tail while he saw a butterfly fluttering and approaches a baby eagle, who is unable to return to the nest with its siblings. Panky decides to gave a baby eagle some water and they happily gave together a hug and play. An eagle appears and flies down to grab its baby and puts it into the nest. It later grabs Panky into the nest. Meanwhile, when the Panthers realize that Panky had left, they decide to split up and search for him.
Pinky and Punkin approach a bear cave so Punkin uses a flasher on an instant camera to take a snapshot but he discovers a bear and runs off in a panic. Pinky also runs from a bear, who chases them both. Pinky and Punkin climb the tree but a bear ravages the part of the tree. Pinky throws Punkin's sandwich onto a bear's head and a bear eats Punkin's sandwich and swallows it, but it realizes that it became distasteful. A bear runs into a cave in a panic. Pinky tells Punkin to get the Pink Panther to help them, to which Punkin agrees and runs in a ravaged bridge (that he and the Panthers just passed). He falls off the bridge into the river and grabs a log, he needs to call the Panthers for help.
The Panthers find Panky in the nest with the eagles but heard Punkin's wails for help. Pinky has come to use a rope to rescue Punkin, while he is almost heading to the waterfall. Panky asks an eagle to save Punkin. While Pinky is saving Punkin, the rope is torn off and an eagle rescues Punkin, prompting the Panthers to celebrate for Punkin. Anney O'Gizmo prepares to take a snapshot of Panky, Punkin and the eagles. Punkin happily thanks Anney for take snapshots for his class project.
