After the other penguins complain about the strenuous tasks they are made to perform as part of Skipper's annual Teambuilding Week, Skipper decides to grant whichever of his teammates brings him a kipper first one day off from teambuilding exercises. Kowalski, Rico, and Private then set off in a race against each other to the fish market and then scramble to be the first to snag a kipper once there. But right after Kowalski gets his flippers on one, all three are captured by Officer X, who is now employed as a fishmonger. Crated, the three realize that they were brought down by failing to remain a team, and work together to escape from X's truck and X crashed into a police car and got in trouble with the law again. When they return to the zoo, they present the kipper to Skipper together and inform him that they learned their lesson about teamwork, to which Skipper replies that he was not trying to teach them anything and only wanted a kipper.
