Summary

Diego has to rescue Linda the Llama who is stuck in a mud puddle and is delivering two baskets where one is filled with goodies and another is filled with musical instruments that she has to take to the parade up on top of a mountain where his cousin Dora and her best friend Boots are waiting.

Plot

The episode starts with Diego and all of his animal friends, including Baby Jaguar, dancing the samba because there's going to be a Carnival Parade that has floats, balloons and confetti, and also music and goodies. Just then, after dancing the samba with his animal friends, Diego's video watch beeps, the video call activates and it reveals to be a call from his cousin Dora the Explorer and her best friend Boots the Monkey.

Dora tells Diego that she and Boots are at the top of the mountain where the parade is going to start and they're waiting for Linda the Llama to bring the baskets of music and goodies for the parade! But sadly, Boots says that Linda's not here. Diego feels worried, because without the music and goodies, there can't be a carnival parade! Dora thinks that Linda must be in trouble and tells Diego that he has got to rescue the llama. Diego tells them not to worry, because he will find her.
