Plot[]
Strawberry Shortcake and her friends struggle to cope with the heatwave in Big Apple City. She asks her friends for ideas to cool down and Blueberry Muffin suggests to think about everything cold to distract themselves from the heat, only for it to not work out. Strawberry reminisces her times in Berryville where whenever there's a heatwave, she would "go for a dip in the old watering hole". Bread Pudding and Raspberry Tart are confused as to what she meant and Orange Blossom tells them that she's referring to swimming. Bread reminds them all that there is only one pool in Big Apple City and it's in the Upper Crust Social Club which is very exclusive. Strawberry hopes that, because it's so hot this season they would make an exception, to be proven wrong when the butler of the floor refuses entrance.
She tries convincing him that they should open the pool for everyone so they can enjoy it, a few scenes play of other pedestrians suffering in the heatwave. The butler states that the Upper Crust swimming pools should be used by members only, which none of the friends and her are. Strawberry expresses her frustration as non of the members are using the pool at all and was shortly kicked out. She decides to try hard to get in the pool. Various montages plays of Strawberry trying to convince the butler and failing plays and it eventually works as Strawberry disguises herself as a chef and manages to persuade the butler that there are several problems in the kitchen, he quickly rushes down to check it for himself. After he goes down, she lets all of her friends into the Upper Crust. They all cheer as they can finally get in, albeit, with trespassing.
Strawberry starts singing to the other members in the Upper Crust to try swimming and to have more fun in the Upper Crust since they have access to what can cool them down in the heatwave.

Trivia[]
- Even though the Upper Crust Social Club is reserved to elites and other notable people, it’s unknown why Bread, Raspberry, and Lime aren't allowed in as their parents are fairly wealthy and influential. Figgy Pudding owns many properties and locations, Raspberry’s parents are world famous bakers, and Fluffy Chiffon is a notable fashion designer. It is possible that none of their parents are members of the club.
- This is the first time we get to see the swimwear of some of the main characters, with the exception of Lemon Meringue, Huckleberry Pie, Bread Pudding, and Sour Grapes, all of whom are still using their summer outfits.
- When Strawberry takes off her chef disguise right before the song begins, the pizza rat can be seen jumping off her head when her chef hat is removed. This is a reference to the Pixar film “Ratatouille”, where a rat named Remy hides underneath a chef hat worn by novice cook Linguini throughout the movie.
