A presenter introduces them enthusiastically with a fanfare upcoming. The Jester brothers jumped out of the dark entrance hopping, doing front flips like mad. Not long after they mak make a high jump and clumsily lands right in a bowl of punch making the drink splash right on Nails's face. Soaking her entirely. Everyone laugh at her which makes her very angry on the Jesters. The Jesters brothers slowly stand up in the bowl wet, muddled and covered with each broken cherry on their heads, which makes them look stupid. Nails takes a closer look at them and begin to scream out of anger. The Jester brothers took off the cherries at that moment. She screams to the king that she have never been so insulted in her entire life. King Mole says that the accident was only in good fun. Then Starnose comes while carrying a very large piece of gold that is shaped like his head. He asks the king to buy the jesters for his gold piece. The King immediately makes a deal and calls the guards to send them to the dungeons. While Jester brothers heard the king's call they become scared and hold their heads. Nails became grateful for Starnose kindness. However, king Mole notice that the gold suddenly change to a color of a rock . He madly asks Starnose on what is going on. The Moligan The Excavator says that the formula doesn't affect any more. The king becomes mad and crushed the rock to pieces and tells the guards to immediately send them to the dungeons like the jesters. In part 2 one of the Moligans, Roc the crow gently asks king Mole that there's a lack of court fools and he would like to apply. The king says that if he is a friend of Starnose he should be qualified for the job and the king hires him.

Later on the Jester brothers stands in front of the gate asking the guard on what is going on. The guard tells them that the Moligans are frauds. One of the brothers also asks if they are free to go, explaining that they no longer belongs to the Moligans. The guard tosses the Moligans right in and close the gate. He tells to the Jesters brothers that no one was allowed to go. The guard also tells them that they have been replaced by Roc. On the next day the guards got breakfast for the prisoners and the new, proclaimed jester Roc the crow is there to tell the Moligans some news about that the wizard Molevolio have the recipe for the formula and that his going to make real gold to pay off the Moligans debt so they will be released. Starnose is mad that they have the formula and Roc is on the King's side. Starnose beats him. The guards tell them to stop but start to fight also and other Moligans also fights the guards. while they are fighting the Jester brothers stand safely on a high ground cheering to Nails and the others to beat the guards.

However, while the guards are fighting some of the Glo Friends and Glo Wees escape to start a plan on how to rescue the others. They are going to get some moondrops and dewdrops for the other because they don't have enough energy to glo. Later the Glo Friends and Glowees arrived at Molevolio's laboratory and finds bags of moon-and dewdrops. However the wizard noticed them and casts an explosive spell on them but it missed and hit the wall instead. Perfect timing for them to escaped. They later went to the market disguised to find a friend named Gregorious Rat and he owns a clothing store. They talk about how to get in the castle again, unnoticed and Gregorious suggests that they can be disguised as his assistants - They are going to sell clothes to the King. While they are at the King's room a feather from a pillow slips in the Glo Friend's and Glowee's disguise. It makes them sneeze so hard their disguise collapse and they starts to run. They run to the dungeons, taking the cell keys from wall and goes in to close the gate. The guards are at their way and scream to them to open the gate.

The Glo friends and Glowees give the other some moon-and dewdrops. the wizard Molevolio comes to blast the gate with his staff and then King Mole also comes to witness it, but trips on his own new clothes and starts to fall right on Molevolio causing a big blast and completely destroying the gate. All the prisoners can escape. However, the exit is blocked by soil and boulders. Country mouse's cousin Astrologious says that is was an earthquake but the Moligans starts to dig them out. The Glo-Wee Spruce take some pebbles and juggles with them making the soil and stone to fall. The successfully made the entrance.

Gregorius waits outside with two boats for them. The Moligans waste no time and gets in their boat but Nails is having trouble to get on. One of the Jester sits on Nails's shoulder holding her tight. He is afraid to get in the boat by himself and maybe trip in the water. The other jester managed to get in the boat. Nails tells them to hold the boat still but trips and fall with the head first right in the middle of the boat.
