The story is based on a colony of mermaids, who live a happy life except for the occasional  appearance of the "sea monster."    The sea people can't protect the ships from the monster because their chant , "la, lee lo locks, look out for the rocks" doesn't come out right.  This story is how Lester the merboy saves the day when he brings the /l/ sound to the mer people.
