Here's a lovely shell to add to your collection, Rupert.

The last resident forgot to clean up his room

before going out. Hmm. Like someone else I know.

(Laughing)

This one's a real beauty!

MUMIt is beautiful, isn't it?

Ah, but it pales in comparison to you, Missus Bear!

Captain Binnacle! Ahoy, there, Captain!

It's good to see you again.

Aye! An' that goes double for me.

Always a welcome sight to see friends haul into port

for a holiday.

I was just about to take Old Betsy here

for a tour of Rocky Bay,

but I fear I'm in need of a first mate.

Ahoy the lookout!

Did ya spy any pirates a-lurkin' on the horizon?

RUPERTAll clear, Captain. Nothing but--

Strange. I can't remember seeing that island before!

(Chuckling) Now, Rupert,

stop trying to pull the mainsail over me eyes!

You know there aren't any islands

along this stretch of coast.

Sufferin' scrimshaw! An island, it is!

Now, what in the name of Davy Jones

is it doin' there all of a sudden?

Do you suppose an earthquake might have broken away

part of the coastline?

Hey! Put that back!

Avast, ye scurvy.

Leapin' limpets! What's a young lad doin'

swimmin' out so far from shore?!

I'm sorry. You see, the shell belongs to me.

I lost it, and I just have to get it back!

I wish you'd asked for it back on the beach.

It would have saved you a lot of trouble!

Aye! And been a fair sight safer.

Now, let's get you aboard before--

Blustering barnacles!

He's a merboy!

I've heard many a tale of such a thing, but I--

Well, now you've seen one, tail and all!

My name is Finnian.

I'm Rupert, and this is my friend Captain Binnacle.

Thank you, Rupert. I'd have been in trouble if this had

fallen into the hands of a Topworlder!

These shells are very special, and--

Whoa!

Kira! What's the matter?

Oh, Finnian! It's terrible!

A fearsome creature has come to Rocky Bay,

breathing lightning and destroying the reef!

Flee while you can! Flee!

It's not like Kira to be a scaredy-catfish.

What could be going on out there?

Maybe it has something to do with--

That's odd.

I'm almost certain the island has moved

since the last time I looked!

Helmsman, bring us about!

We'll get to the bottom of this, or I'm a landlubber!

Wait for me!

We'll go ashore and take a look around.

I'll check things out below.

(Metal resonating)

Jumpin' jellyfish!

Captain Binnacle! Over here!

I've been on my share of islands, Rupert,

but never one with a spiral staircase.

RUPERTIt's a disguised ship!

Don't call it a ship, Rupert!

This here contraption t'ain't nothin'

but a bilious, blusterin', foul-smellin',

overgrown motorboat! A ship would have no need

for all this huffin' and blowin'! Bah!

Give me a full sheet to sail

and a strong westerly breeze any day!

Sunken Treasures of the Seven Seas,

Hidden Gold of the Spanish Galleons,

The Lost Armada.

Someone is obviously doing more

than just reading about sunken treasure.

Aye! And I'll wager those X's mark the areas

they've already searched!

Captain, look!

Maybe he needs help!

Hold your seahorses, there, lad.

Looks to me like those two are workin' together.

RUPERTSo that's how they do it!

They're using a giant underwater vacuum cleaner

to suck up treasure!

Looks like the plunderin' sea dogs are comin' aboard.

We'd best make ourselves scarce, Rupert.

Don't worry, Admiral. I'll give you a hand--


If I had hands, that is!

(Laughing)

That is the last time I come to your rescue,

you bungling sea snake!

(Gasping)

Sir Humphrey!

Sir Huffery, who?

Humphrey Pumphrey! We've crossed paths before.

I warn you, Snipe!

Next time, I leave you for the sharks!

Sorry, Skipper. But it ain't easy, you know.

It couldn't be simpler!

Left. Right. Got it?

Left. Right. Uh, left, uh, right,

left, right--

(Groaning)

Simple, he says!

Worthless junk! Back to work, Snipe!

And no more foul-ups!

Aye-aye, Commodore.

There are galleons full of gold out there somewhere,

and I'll find them if, I have to use my sonic ray

to pulverize every inch of rock and coral in the seven seas!

A sonic ray?

Sounds like a dastardly rig, if there ever was one.

(Whinnying)

You leave her alone!

Hey! Let go!

Get off! Get off! Let go!

It can't be! Snipe!

Capture that creature at once!

I'm--

Trying.

Admiral!

Hold him still, you fool!

I'll take the fight out of him!

(Gasping)

No!

(Yelling)

You won't get away with this, Sir Humphrey!

What?! Rupert Bear!

Not you again!

(Yelling)

Come on, lad, we'd better get topside!

Now I've got ya!

(Straining)

Oh, no! Yow!

Think you can escape me on my own ship, eh?

It's a motorboat, ya sea-jackal!

This way!

Whoa!

Ramming speed!

Avast! Let us go!

We'll talk of our old times later,

my annoying little friend.

But first, I must see about the catch of the day.

(Laughing)

(Yelling)

Got him, Skipper!

Could've done it with my hands behind my back.

That is, if I had any.

(Chuckling)

I've captured a mermaid!

I am not a mermaid, I'm a merboy!

You'll be sorry when King Neptune finds out

what you're up to. And you'll be even sorrier!

(Laughing)

King Neptune, the mythical ruler of the seven seas?

Surely you don't expect me to believe in such a fairy tale?

Shows you how much you know!

King Neptune's palace is hidden in deep waters

not far from this very spot!

You mean, we've been poking around in Neptune's backyard?

Hmm.

Then again, I thought mermaids were mythical too.

I told you. I'm a merboy!

Snipe! Pack up the vacuum, and prepare to get underway.

Aye-aye, Captain Courageous! Good idea.

Why stick around here,

when there's six other seas to choose from? Hee-hee-hee.

We are not running away, you spineless worm!

Since we're in the neighbourhood,

I think it would only be polite to pay King Neptune a visit,

don't you?

What?!

(Grunting)

If only we had a pole or-- Captain!

Your spyglass!

I can see the button just fine, Rupert.

What a barnacle-brain I've been!

Lucky for me, I shipped-out with such a clever first mate!

You won't get away with this!

No one can match King Neptune's power!

Ha! That's only because

no one has ever come knocking at his palace gates

with a weapon as powerful as my sonic ray!

RUPERTWe'll see what the Coast Guard

has to say about that, Sir Humphrey!

What?! How did you get out?

You'll never catch us, ya landlubbin' tub o' lard!


(Yelling)

♪

(Laughing)

Looks like the wind is outta yer sails,

Sir Huffin Puffer!

(Growling)

I'll show you!

Thinks he'll get away, does he?

We'll see about that, Captain Fishfood!

(Laughing)

Captain! Are you all right?

Aye! But I'm afraid that scurvy pirate

has sent ol' Betsy to Davy Jones' locker!

Rupert, we've got to warn King Neptune

about Pumphrey's ray g*n!

Off with ye lads!

I'll see what I can do to scuttle this devilish tub.

What?! Snipe!

You're letting them get away. you incompetent eel!

(Yelling)

He's spotted us!

♪

Quick, Rupert! In here!

(Laughing)

Neptune's riches are as good as mine!

(Yelling)

Oh, no!

If only there was another ship about,

I could send an SOS.

It'll take forever to move all these rocks.

Maybe there's another way out.

Ya! Help!

(Gasping)

Hey! Let go! Yaow!

Finnian? Oggi?

(Laughing) Meet my friend Rupert.

Pleased to meet you, Oggi.

Sorry. Can't be too careful with Topworlders, you know!

Oggi, we have to deliver an important message

to King Neptune.

Do you think you can get us out of here?

Nothin' easier.

Figures. Never any help around when you need it.

Avast!

Ah! Oof!

A periscope!

(Giggling)

It's time to pull the wool over his eyes.

That ocean trench is the only spot in this entire area

deep enough to hide a palace!

Soon, Neptune will be up to his gills in rubble,

and I will be up to my ears in treasure!

(Laughing) Whoa!

Now, what?

Snipe, get up there and clear the periscope this instant!

I'd like to oblige, Captain,

but I'm a couple of feet short to fill such a tall order,

if you see my meaning.

(Laughing)

(Grumbling)

Well done, Oggi!

I'm always willing to lend a friend a hand, or eight!

Let's get going, Rupert.

No time to lose.

(Trumpeting)

A manta ray!

Amazing! Hold tight!

You're in for the ride of your life.

Ow!

Ought to have my head examined

for hiring that lazy lump of an eel.

Now, how to throw a monkey wrench into the works?

Agh!

So it's a battle ye be wanting, ya scurvy piece of tin!

I'll show ye!

Stand still, ya big, steel, lily-livered--

(Powering down)

So, givin' up, are ye?

There's nothing here!

Bah! Worthless chart!

Just as well, if you ask me, Skipper!

No point tanglin' with Neptune if it ain't necessary.

I'll make sure this tub ain't goin' nowheres.

Confounded machine!

We're here.

Uh-oh! There's Sir Humphrey!

That greedy Topworlder is almost sitting on top of his treasure,

and he doesn't even know it.

I'm going to find that palace,

if it means searching every inch of this sea floor

on our hands and knees!

Guess that counts me out, eh, Skipper?

(Beeping)

(Gasping) What's that?

My two little trouble makers

seem to have squeezed out of their tight spot.

And what might you be up to, I wonder?

(Laughing)

RUPERTThere's a light coming from down below!

Better shield your eyes, Rupert!


(Gasping)

FINNIANThere is only one like it in all the seven seas.

Without the light of the special pearl,

it wouldn't be possible

to keep King Neptune's marvellous treasures hidden

from greedy Topworlders like Sir Humphrey.

Halt!

Who dares bring a Topworlder here?

I'm Finnian, and this is my friend Rupert.

We must see King Neptune at once.

Impossible!

But Lord Chamberlain, we have urgent news!

You're all in terrible danger!

Still impossible, I fear.

My lord Neptune is at present on a royal tour

of his domains in the South Seas.

BOTHOh, no!

My ultra-sonic imager will show me

what lies beneath those weeds.

They just went in to hide.

Probably has nothin' to do with Neptune's--

A-ha! Palace.

(Laughing)

How splendidly clever I am.

♪ Enhance the image

(Laughing)

Doubloons, jewels!

Treasure of all kind!

(Gasping)

Magnificent! A gigantic pearl.

It must be priceless. The Eighth Wonder of the World!

Now, Admiral, we shouldn't be too hasty.

Whoa!

Get ready with the vacuum, Snipe!

I'm rich! Rich beyond all imagining!

(Laughing)

I know Sir Humphrey.

He won't think twice about

turning this beautiful palace to rubble!

Well, I'm sure there's no need to worry.

After all, no Topworlder has ever found the secret palace,

and I'll bet my last periwinkle none ever--

(expl*si*n) Whoa!

Oh, no!

He's going for the pearl!

(Screaming)

To arms, to arms! The palace is under attack!

Oh, dear!

♪

(Gasping)

♪

Truly the Eighth Wonder of the World!

And it's all mine!

Let's get out of here, Admiral.

They'll be on our tails in no time!

Take that, ye blusterin' tin can!

There's no way you'll work now. (Engine's starting)

Why, ya no good, cheatin' pile of rusty--

(Fizzling) What the--?

(Screaming)

He's getting away!

(Trumpeting)

Oh, no! Binnacle!

Don't tell me you've improved the engines by mistake!

(Fizzling)

(Laughing)

It looks like the luck of Jonah might be with me after all.

She's about to bust her gussets!

They're too fast!

Even Manta can't-- (Rumbling)

Captain Binnacle! I knew he'd think of something!

Ruined! But what--? How--?

Avast, ye swab!

You'll be the next thing I goes to work on!

Uh-oh!

That must be the pearl!

Ya! Let go!

Hey! It ain't polite to take things without asking.

Come back here, ya lily-livered landlubber!

Yaow!

(Crashing)

HUMPHREYMy pearl!

(Growling)

You'll regret this, you impudent brats!

(Trumpeting)

Uh-oh. We got more company comin', Commodore!

Stop your snivelling! I've got a pearl to retrieve.

Abandon ship--! Boat--! Island--!

Whatever!

RUPERTHe's gaining on us!

Time to take care of that meddling bear

once and for all!

(Screaming)

Keep going! I've got him covered!

Ah! I can't see!

SNIPETurn right, Admiral! Turn right!

I mean, left!

(Screaming)

(Cheering)


HUMPHREYSnipe! You bungling sea worm!

This is all your fault!

Sorry, Commodore, but you should've known better

than to follow my directions!

King Neptune will see to a proper punishment for those two,

and a proper reward for our three heroes!

(Cheering)

FINNIANCongratulations, Rupert!

You're the first Topworlder to be allowed to wear

one of King Neptune's special shells!

It's an honour, Finnian.

And congratulations on your promotion to palace guard.

Aye! King Neptune was downright generous, he was.

But something tells me that my reward

is going to raise more eyebrows around Rocky Bay

than that mystery island ever did.

Look on the bright side, Captain.

At least it doesn't have an engine!
