Mrs. Heckerman, whose yard has been invaded by hundred’s of turtles, calls upon the Critter Gitters to help solve her dilemma. To their surprise, the Critter Gitters find turtles romping freely throughout the neighborhood. When a giant, 40 lb. turtle lumbers into their kitchen, Mr. Heckerman gulps and lodges an apple core in his throat. Annie springs to action, using the Heimlich maneuver, she saves him from choking. Unfortunately, moments later, the well-intentioned Mr. Belcher trips, tumbling into the swimming pool with a box full of desert turtles. Once again, all of the Critter Gitters spring into action, diving and swimming heroically underwater in a breath-taking finale, rescuing the drowning turtles.
