==Synopsis==
While the kids are visiting a museum in Pensacola, Florida, Bluebell and her friends decide to visit the ancient ruins located far from Butterfly Valley, but challenges await when they encounter an unusual monarch from the very past…
==Plot==
Today, Rose, Petunia and their close friends visit the Escambia County Memorial Museum in Pensacola, as part of a school trip with their teacher Ms. Derring. They wait for the school bus to arrive.
Meanwhile in Butterfly Valley, Bluebell and company are trying to find the ancient temple, but they only found some small huts. They continue to find the temple, but with no luck so far.
Once they arrived at the museum, the kids and Ms. Derring exit the school bus and Rose asks one of the bodyguard if they can enter the museum with permission. He accepts her request and allows them into the museum.
Meanwhile in somewhere far away from Butterfly Valley, Bluebell and company had arrived in the ancient temple. Bluebell tries open the gate but she is not strong enough to pull the knob, so she asks Spike if he can open the gate, but he is also not strong. Spike notices a strange symbol under the knob. He presses the symbol and the gate suddenly moves up
At the Escambia County Memorial Museum, Ms. Derring shows the kids some rare antiques from 1866, but Petunia gets distracted by a vintage battery-operated toy train from 1963. She watches the train goes across the railway. Ms. Derring calls out Petunia so she can show he class some never-before-seen antiques, including the very first ragdoll from 1890 and a golden jug from 1788. 
Bluebell and company are now inside the temple and Spike grabs a golden chalice. He shows it to his sister, who freaked out when a worm suddenly popped up from the chalice. Spike tells the worm to leave the chalice, but he replied that he lives in it. Spike puts the chalice back and the butterfly fairies head to the next area.
Back at the Escambia County Memorial Museum, Ms. Derring shows the kids some vehicles that were used during the Cold War. Chip was interested with tanks and air fighters, while the girls decide to see some rare jewelry dated from 1901.
Meanwhile in the ancient temple, Bluebell and company had finally come across a strange-looking throne. Bluebell saw a sign that spells "King Put", but she and Spike aren't convinced about his existence, then Spike notices a strange tomb and opens it, causing a mummified King Put to emerge from his tomb. Spike is unaware that King Put is behind him and Bluebell told him to turn around. The butterfly fairies freaked out as they ran from the temple, while King Put chases them.
The kids are almost finished the tour at the museum, but Rose notices her pocket glowing. She picks up the magic flower and tells Petunia that they should go to Butterfly Valley 
As King Put attacks Butterfly Valley, the twins arrive in time to stop him. Rose tells him to stop attacking the valley, whilst Petunia picks up a ball of yarn from her pocket and plays fetch with King Put, causing him to run into the Troll Kingdom.
King Put approaches the troll guards, who tried to attack him, but their crossbows are no match to his enormous body, causing the troll guards to rely on their spears. King Boogieman and Queen Peregia exit the Great Troll Palace and encounter King Put, who is revealed to be King Boogieman's ancestor.
Bluebell and company came and apologize to the twins for entering the ancient temple. Rose tells them not to enter the temple next time, them Spike asks where is King Put, to which Petunia responded that he is in the Troll Kingdom, playing chess with King Boogieman. Bluebell thanks the twins for saving her and her friends from King Put.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, King Boogieman and King Put are, in fact, playing chess, with Queen Peregia and some of the troll guards watching them. King Boogieman is close to winning, but King Put makes his move and wins the game, enraging Boogieman as Queen Peregia whishes him a better luck next time.
The twins bid farewell to the butterfly fairies and return home using the magic flower. They came back on the bus stop and their friends welcome them back just a second shy of the school bus's arrival. Ms. Derring and her class head to the bus to return to Sideview Beach Middle School as the episode ends.

*One of the scenes was trimmed in later airings of this episodes, as well as international broadcasts, due to a line spoken by Ms. Derring mentioning the Cold War, which is a large-scale tension between the United States and the Soviet Union (which has since dissolved into independent nations) in 1960s.
