When the kids grow over-confident after beginning their training, they decide to intercept a distress call and sneak off without permission, only to land themselves in hot water.
Po and the kids are recruited to perform in Mei Mei's theatrical show, but things take a turn when Jindiao ruins the play in order to find a mystical scroll.
When Po discovers he was poisoned, he sets off to a caravan oasis in the hopes of finding out who the perpetrator is, unknowingly followed by the kids.
The kids are desperate to get back and help their fellow Panda Villagers, and Po decides he must figure out a way to defeat Jindiao before he controls the world.
