After Chip's food scam doesn't fool the park mafia, the chipmunks' arguing is manipulated by the mafia into becoming gambling fodder. Dale's hugs somehow miraculously heal injuries, so he provides the service to all the park animals, but he discovers that by healing them, he gives away his life. Dale has grown a habit of eating other's food without permission, so Chip secretly decides to cover for his crimes by tricking the turkey judge. However, when Chip's cover is blown, he is sent to prison, and Dale tries to bust him out, but ultimately decides to give himself to the authorities instead and makes the best of it, while Chip plans to escape back home.
