Po and Tigress rescue young goose named Zan from Fung and his gang of crocodile bandits, who had kidnapped Zan and were holding him for ransom. Crane and Viper are then sent to find Zan's parents, while Tigress must look after the child, who has taken a shine on her. Not particularly fond on kids, after several awkward attempts to entertain Zan, Tigress starts teaching him kung fu. After another failed attempt to kidnap Zan, the crocodiles are joined by Fung's younger but larger cousin Lidong. Lured to a farm, Po, Shifu, Monkey and Mantis get attacked by the crocodile bandits, while Tigress stays in the Palace as the child's protector. There, they are attacked by Lidong and Fung, who manages to capture Zan, but Tigress eventually defeats them, kicking Lidong off the Palace, and then obtains a motherly role to the child. At the end, Zan's mother, who turns out to be the Emperor's sister, comes for Zan, who has meanwhile endeared to Tigress.
