When the Festival of Giving is threatened by a mysterious, powerful wind gusting through Care-A-Lot, the Care Bears become determined to find the source and assure the safe arrival of Princess Starglo, the guest of honor.
Several bears are standing in a line outside of Grumpy's shop in the middle of the night. Funshine yawns and questions why Grumpy called them there so late. Grumpy appears and shows off his most recent invention: A special power generator! Grumpy goes to turn his new invention on, only to discover that the switch is stuck. In order to flip the stuck switch, Grumpy begins smacking his new machine with a wrench. Meanwhile, high above in Grizzle's Lair, Grizzle is also hitting his new machine with a large golden wrench. This doesn't work for Grizzle, who calls out for assistance from his robot UR-2. UR-2 replies "I am not!" which leads to an annoyed Grizzle explaining to UR-2 that it is his name. UR-2 then reports that if Grizzle does not increase his power supply, his lair will float away. Grizzle frustratingly hits his power generator with a hammer, which causes him to fall down.
Share Bear breaks Grumpy Bear's cloud express which was still a work in progress, and gets the butterflies while trying to hide the fact that she broke it from Grumpy.
A large group of Care Bears are visiting Share's garden to admire her flowers. Cheer Bear laments that she doesn't have a garden like Share's, but Share replies that Cheer could easily have her own garden, although it would take a few weeks for it to grow. The next day, Share is surprised to see that her garden is free of visitors. Oopsy Bear shows up, but quickly says his catch phrase and dashes off. When Share ask where Oopsy Bear is running off to, Oopsy explains that he was suppose to go to Cheer's garden and that's where everyone is. Share is shocked to hear the news, and proclaims that she's the only one with a garden. Oopsy tells Share to come see Cheer's garden, and Share agrees while bitterly adding that it couldn't possibly he as nice as her own.

Grizzle is using a device that consists of a pair of magnifying glasses to cause a heatwave in Care-a-Lot. The Thunder whales come by to bring rain, but then Grizzle scares them off. It's up to Share Bear, who's afraid of the whales to save Care-a-Lot by facing her fears and leading the whales back.
Grizzle has invented a robot named Newbie and fitted it with a badge removal ray emitter to try erasing the Care Bears' belly badges. Unfortunately, the ray doesn't remove the badges, but amplifies the negative traits of the bears. Soon, all in Care-a-Lot is in chaos and only Oopsy, who doesn't have a real belly badge and thus have not been zapped by the robot, can save the day.

Here, Share explains that they have to pick who gets to be the starshine star, which will be the centerpiece of the biggest float.

During the middle of the night, Bedtime Bear comes back and sees that Funshine is still playing. Bedtime warns Funshine that if he doesn't get some rest, he could get sick. Funshine ask for a little bit more time to play, and Bedtime leaves.
Funshine looks for a place to practice Belly Ball and happens upon Rainshine Meadows, a once beautiful place which is now in a state of despair and negligence.

He decides to trick Oopsy into delivering it, but Oopsy keeps having oopsies with it, forcing him to make protective modifications that ultimately render it inoperable.

In Share's garden, her dilly daisy plant has finally bloomed. The nimbits, two cloud-like creates named Bumpity and Tweazle, arrive for a visit.
