Penelope is spending a relaxing day at the beach being buried in the sand by the Ant Hill Mob. The Hooded Claw has mixed in cement with the sand so she cannot get out. Along comes a bulldozer driven by the Bully Brothers. The Ant Hill Mob cannot pull her up, so they dig a tunnel to pull her down. They save her in the nick of time. Later, Penelope is kidnapped by the Bully Brothers during a scavenger hunt and taken to an abandoned fishing village, where the Hooded Claw awaits her. Will the Ant Hill Mob come crashing in to save her in time?

In one peril The Hooded Claw ties Penelope to a giant boulder using a spring tree, but the Ant Hill Mob foil him. She is also left tied, sitting on top of a runaway stagecoach. Then a tipi is set on the edge of a cliff, designed to lure the Mob in and fall off the edge, hitting a board that will catapult Penelope in a barrel, and the Ant Hill Mob into the near-bottomless canyon. To lure them there is a gramophone inside the tipi playing Penelope's famous call for ""Help!"". She is then finally placed in a miner's car filled with explosives which is set to rocket down to the bottom of a steep and deep mine shaft.
