Located in a secret lab in their clubhouse, the D-Team discusses their sudden lack of Dinosaur Cards with a surprising lack of concern since their trusty pal (and helpful deus ex machina), Dr Taylor, had just given them some mysterious new stones. Suddenly, they receive an alert about a fossil discovery in the nearby park. Naturally, they must investigate immediately, and Dr Taylor comes along for the ride.

The fossil has been uncovered on one of the most dangerous construction sites in the city, where construction has been stopped due to persistent sinkholes. Nonetheless, Chomp and Ace get to digging, uncovering a bit of bone tip that sends them off more excitedly than the gang's seen them before. Meanwhile, a nefarious group of Tactical Dinosaur Assault Specialists arrive on the scene in an attractive black SUV, eager to seize the fossil for themselves. They're clearly a shady group, what with the evil music and their aggressive hand movements.

The D-Team tries to negotiate with them peacefully, but things quickly escalate as a Tyrannosaurus suddenly appears on the construction site. The Tactical Dinosaur Assault Specialists reveal their sinister intent and try to run off with the fossil while using their trusty, invisible controlling devices. The gang is forced to call forth their Dinosaurs for battle, and a predictably epic fight ensues. We won't spoil the twist ending, but suffice it to say that the D-Team prevails.

Despite their victory, the sinkhole issues continue, and Dr Taylor explains that the fossil Clay had found is actually a fragment of a pterosaur's wing that can create tremors when it comes into contact with rock. One of the Tactical Dinosaur Assault Specialist agents agrees to help the D-Team retrieve the other pieces of the pterosaur in exchange for the fragment the D-Team currently possesses.

The episode's teachable moment comes at the very end. Dr Taylor reminds the kids that the sinkhole's continued presence isn't just an inconvenience for the city but also a dangerous geological problem that they need to help solve. With their trusty Dinosaur friends by their side, they set out to discover the source of the sinkholes to help save the city.

Overall, "Rubble Trouble" is another fun and kid-friendly episode of Dinosaur King, full of exciting (if predictable) battles and the ever-pleasant company of the D-Team and their eclectic group of Dinosaur friends in a series that, while perhaps not reaching the same heights as some of its more magical compatriots, still packs in plenty of fun for any kid with a love of adventure and prehistoric creatures.
