Poppy and her friends blow bubbles in the garden during which Mo proves to be the champion bubble-blower but an inept Zuzu pouts that bubbles are no fun because he is having trouble blowing them. So she takes them to Tiger Island to meet a young tiger named Ravi and help him cheer up with them.

Ravi the Tiger invites the friends to enter a sand sculpture contest on the beach at Purple Sands. Zuzu and Alma both want to win, but there is strong competition from Parsa, a small sea turtle. When Ravi asks Poppy and Mo to help with the judging, Mo is reluctant to choose between his friends.
