Just then, Sweet Pete, Bob, and Jimmy arrive, having followed Dale by his social media posts. They go to the ongoing Fan Con and try to convince Ugly Sonic to get his contacts with the FBI to help. The two smell the scent of Monterey's cologne, and trace it to either Captain Putty or Ellie, and flee the station, fearing one of them is working with Sweet Pete. At the far end, the two discover a trove of toon parts, including Monterey's mustache.Īt the police station the next day, the pair argue over their recent spats, and Chip angrily gives Dale a golden pog that he kept to remind him of their better past.

The investigation leads to the discovery of a large operating machine designed to take parts of toons and replace them with others, and while the chipmunks end up stuck in it, they manage to avoid the laser cutters.

They trace his movements to a dock warehouse, and find evidence of prior toon kidnappings, allowing the police to fully investigate. Dale recalls that Sweet Pete is wearing a fitness tracker, and so with Ellie's help, the pair sneak into a bathhouse to steal Pete's tracker. The two discuss what they discovered with Ellie, learning that she is not in good standing with Captain Putty due to acting on a bad tip and raiding Nickelodeon Studios with disastrous results. Sweet Pete realizes the two are trying to find info on his bootlegging business and try to capture the pair, but the chipmunks escape. They meet Sweet Pete - who in reality is an adult Peter Pan - and his henchmen Bob the Viking and Jimmy the Polar Bear. They are taken to the uncanny valley part of town to Sweet Pete's factory that produces porta-potties from unsold toy stock. Ellie reveals herself as a big fan of Chip and Dale, and tells the pair that while their hands are tied as police, the two can try to find out where Sweet Pete is operating from.Ĭhip and Dale go to Bjornson the Cheesemonger, where Monterey had been buying his cheese, and ask to see Sweet Pete. Later, Monterey is found missing and both arrive to help the police, led by Captain Putty and Detective Ellie Steckler. Chip wants no part of the investigation, still holding a grudge with Dale. He tells the pair of a criminal operation where they kidnap toons, alter their appearance, and ship them overseas to produce bootleg works. In the present, Chip and Dale are contacted by Monterey Jack, who has fallen in debt to a figurehead named Sweet Pete due to his cheese addiction.

Chip became a successful insurance salesman, while Dale continued his acting career, having special CGI surgery to improve his looks, but now spends his time on the fan convention circuit. In the thirty years since the show, the two had drifted apart, and the Rescue Rangers broke up. However, during filming, Dale revealed to Chip that he had also gotten a solo role in a spy show called Double-O-Dale, which Chip took as an insult to their friendship. Their friendship led to creating their own show, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, which had been a big success. In a world co-populated by both humans and cartoon characters, Chip and Dale had met in grade school, being outcasts from the other students, and soon became fast friends. Now, Chip and Dale must renew their partnership and bring the gang back together to try and save their friend and teammate, Monterey Jack, from a fate worse than death: video piracy. Meanwhile, traditionally animated characters are doing their best to live in a world of remakes and reboots with realistic computer graphics. It's been over 30 years since the end of Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, and Chip and Dale are currently living a life of mediocrity in a world where humans and cartoon characters live together.
