## Premise

**The Wiggles** get a chance to meet **Captain Feathersword** and his pirate mates **Imran**, **Raj** and **Penelope**. They all go on an adventure to find treasure. First, they have to go through a huge storm when they are traveling across the ocean. After the storm, the crew arrives safe on the island. They then begin to search around the island for the treasure that Captain Feathersword buried years ago. After the crew finds the treasure, they all realize that the treasure is baked beans. Captain Feathersword remembered that he buried the baked beans for **The Wiggles** eat. When they leave the island, they suddenly remember that it was also Captain Feathersword's birthday, and the pirate mates are playing a trick on the Captain. A little while later, they surprise the Captain when he enters the room and he says that it was the best birthday that he ever had. The Pirate mates and the Wiggles sing a birthday song to him.
