## Summary

The Paw Patrol meets up in the local park, on top of the playground's climbing bar dome, to discuss some recent concerning developments around the town. Ringo reports that Father Pesci has been doing some sort of secretive activity involving chalk in the basement of the church. Kabosu reports that there has been unrest at Smitty the Orc's bar, with some rowdy bar patrons expressing dislike of Smitty being an orc. The party decides to head to the church to investigate Ringo's report.

Arriving at the church and finding the doors locked, Kabosu and Ringo try to dig their way into the basement. Meanwhile, Puppy! jumps through a window into the ground floor, breaking the stained glass in the process. Kabosu and Ringo manage to squeeze through a hole into the basement, followed by Toaster and Jezebella. In the basement, they find a newly constructed brick wall with strange noises coming from behind it, and also a locked door leading further into the basement. Toaster attempts to pick the lock with a sharpened stick, but the stick breaks inside the lock. Kabosu then tries to open the lock using hot coals from a lit brazier? Somehow?

Meanwhile, on the floor above them, Puppy! encounters Deacon Cliff, who is horrified by what has happened to the window and attempts to lead Puppy! out of the church. Puppy!, however, interprets this as a game of tug-of-war over an iron bar from the broken window frame, and accidentally knocks Deacon Cliff unconscious in all the excitement. Puppy! then takes the iron bar outside and tries to play with some passersby.

The dogs in the basement want the bigger dogs' help with opening the locked door they found, but the hole into the basement is unfortunately too small to fit Puppy! or Sir Jonas. Kabosu pretends to be stuck in the hole while Jezebella sits nearby and acts cute, in order to try to trick the passersby into trying to "free" Kabosu by widening the hole.

By this time, the coals from the brazier have lit the basement door on fire. As the flames begin to spread through the basement, the dogs hear something thumping on the opposite side of the new brick wall. Some human officers show up to help handle the situation, but rather than try to put out the fire they mostly focus on trying to chase the dogs off with clubs, with one officer injuring Kabosu's leg. Sensing that the officers have become corrupted by evil, the dogs successfully pull the clubs away from the officers with games of tug-of-war.

The church at this point is very much on fire. From the basement emerges an enormous flesh golem, engulfed in flames. Father Pesci arrives on the scene, visibly drunk. Toaster throws his saint-bernard-style neck-mounted whiskey barrel at the burning golem in order to set it more on fire. Father Pesci climbs up on top of the golem and shouts "The time of cleansing is upon us!" and rides the golem into town. Father Pesci has an aura that seems to keep the fire from touching him. Father Pesci and the golem head toward Sharp Smitty's bar, with Pesci shouting "Every sin and heathen must be cleansed!" Sir Jonas and Puppy! attempt to dig into the dirt and cover the golem with the kicked up dirt in order to put out the fire before it reaches the bar, but the attempt fails, with Puppy! accidentally hitting Sir Jonas in the head with a rock.

At the bar, a bar brawl is in progress. Kabosu leads the the other dogs in trying to throw more alcohol at the golem. The fighting bar patrons notice and start rolling kegs and barrels at the golem as well, and successfully stop the golem from reaching the bar. In the bar, racial tension between the orcs and humans is close to breaking out into a full-on battle. Jezebella tries to use her cuteness to give an impassioned speech that ends racism. Although the bar patrons are unable to understand her barking, the leaders of the humans and orcs (Bob and Sharp Smitty respectively) both approach to pet Jezebella. Jezebella and the rest of the dogs are then able to unite the orcs and humans over their shared love of dogs.

Outside the bar, the golem (now charred black by fire) stands up and roars. Sir Jonas leads the dogs in howling back at the golem. The dogs then stand on top of each other in a big pile in order to form a large dog made of dogs to square off with the golem. The mega-dog roars a huge roar at the burnt golem, disintegrating it into ash. Father Pesci passes out. Bob and Smitty celebrate with a drinking contest? The church burns down completely. Evil has been driven from the town and the dogs are lauded as heroes of Kirva.
