IMDB
Talking Tom is supposed to chaperone Talking Ginger on a trip to a dude ranch, but he gets distracted when he finds out Roy Rakoon is there, too.

Plot
Ginger enters the garage, in tears, since his parents were going to be out of town during the school field trip to the Dude Ranch, so he can't go. He was sad since he promised Ronnie he'd beat him at a beanbag contest. So, Tom and his friends offer to be his chaperone.

At the dude ranch, Ginger meets Ronnie and his father. However, Tom also notices another familiar chaperone, Roy. Roy still claims to have nothing to hide, and is only there to help out the kids. Tom decides to forget about it at the moment, and play horseshoe with Ginger.

Then, when Tom searches for a horseshoe that flew away, he sees Roy, leading the kids in square dancing, then dropping a map. Tom picks it up, and decides to locate the X, leaving Ginger behind.

Tom chases what he thinks is Roy into the desert and into an old mine. He rides a minecart to find Roy, navigating through intermingling and looping rails. Once he finds Roy's minecart, he grabs him, only to be holding a shovel. It turns out that he was suffering from a mirage, and that he ditched Ginger for no good reason. Ben calculates that one particular rail led back to the ranch, so they follow it back to Ginger.

Meanwhile, Ginger was at the ranch, preparing for the bean bag contest. When Ginger hides behind a bathroom stall, Roy finds him and nearly defeats him, but then a flying minecart arrives with Tom and his friends. Together, he and Ginger defeat Ronnie and his father, along with the other contestants.

After the contest, Tom apologizes for ditching Ginger to chase a mirage. It also turned out the supposed "map" was just a placemat that the kids get with their lunch.
