Angered by what happened, Dave tells them that he will be traveling to Miami soon and that he will leave the young squirrels in the care of a neighbor. Only, by chance, the squirrels find an engagement ring in a bag. Believing that Dave is going to propose to his girlfriend Samantha, Alvin and his brothers devise a plan so that the engagement does not happen, as they think that Dave might abandon them. Who will help them on this journey is Miles, Samantha's son, who also doesn't want them to get married.
