## Episode summary

The episode begins in the Puffy Town plaza, where Milly finds Hover in a particularly sour mood. He proceeds to make a nuisance of himself by complaining loudly about Leeko, and then teasing the kids with their soccer ball by punting it into Chef Peppermint's face. Meanwhile, Professor Antico is examining a torn-up book in his home, and sees an illustration of a pirate with a dragonfly on his shoulder that looks like Hover. Later on, many of the Puffies gather to complain about Hover's behavior within earshot of the dragonfly, and he retaliates by dumping a mattress on Bubbles's head and leaving in a hush. Milly and the kids try to determine where he went, and Antico runs in to tell them that he found some astonishing information about the dragonfly and urges the others to help find him. Hover later stops at Seashell Beach and wonders why nobody seems to like him, when Antico and the kids catch up to him. Antico then says that Hover may be a descendant of a royal dragonfly that once belonged to a dead pirate two centuries ago. Hover does not believe him at first, but his attitude changes when he sees the tattered picture of the dragonfly, and he proceeds to demand that everyone start treating him with the respect owed to royalty.

Later on, at Castle Leonardo, Tommy tells King Leonardo about the news of Hover's lineage, and relays that since the dread pirate visited Usapia, there could be buried treasure somewhere that they have not discovered yet. At the same time, the people in Puffy Town realize this as well, and Hover starts signing off portions of the treasure if discovered to everyone in town in order to make them like him better. This rush of papers is interrupted when King Leonardo and Tommy drive in and give Hover a royal greeting, inviting him to the castle. Leonardo and Tommy then butter up Hover with a royal banquet, but the dragonfly immediately rubs King Leonardo the wrong way with his attitude. He manages to hold it together, however, and he and Tommy ask Hover about the buried treasure, but Hover insists that he does not care about it at all.

Meanwhile, the Puffies get to work digging random holes in Mayor Bay's sheep pen looking for the treasure, as Professor Antico suggests the treasure was buried in a field. After revealing another cryptic hint, the Puffies decide to try Seashell Valley next. Once they arrive, they ask Mr. Mage if the treasure is buried in the canyon, and he responds by explaining that the chest in question has a skull and crossbones on it, and is hidden in a cave at the harbor. At this news, the Puffies drive off with Hover in tow to beat the others there. They arrive at the cave first and discover a massive locked wooden door in their way, but they see a small tunnel up above that Hover would fit in, and send him through with a lantern. Hover comes out the other side and finds a key ring on the ground, along with a note left behind by the pirate. Hover opens the note, only to discover to his horror that it also contains a complete picture of the dragonfly, which demonstrates that it was not the same species at him, and therefore could not have been his ancestor.

Disheartened at this news, Hover tries to keep it a secret, but he is scared by some crumbling bones and goes flying back out of the chamber with the keys. Once on the other side, his keys are snatched by King Leonardo, and he and Tommy proceed to dump Hover and head inside. The Puffies soon find their way into the cave, and Hover points them through the door, telling them that King Leonardo is already inside. As the Puffies rush forward, Milly and Leeko discover the picture, and realize that the dragonfly is not related to Hover. Milly rolls up the paper and takes it with her, which results in Hover being unable to find it as he follows the crowd. King Leonardo and Tommy wander into a large chamber in the cave, and soon find the treasure chest atop a pile of rubble. After seeing the shining gold outside, they are soon surrounded by the Puffies, who demand they hand it over. King Leonardo laughs at this, as he had ordered a monster in advance just in case of a situation like this. Leeko takes the time he has before it arrives to try and vacuum-mouth the treasure chest away from Leonardo and Tommy, but his vacuum-mouth is interrupted by the earth shaking when Mudlett appears in the cave and attacks him.

Leeko tries to vacuum-mouth Mudlett, but it burrows and reappears behind him with the intent of pulling Leeko into the ground. Milly saves Leeko by tossing a rock at the monster, and then proceeds to chase after King Leonardo and Tommy before they get away. King Leonardo and Tommy evade Milly by jumping onto a rock out at sea, but they are shortly met by a shark who antagonizes them, and Sandy shows up saying he led the shark here to help Milly. As the shark attacks, King Leonardo and Tommy accidentally dump all of the treasure into the ocean. They try to swim down toward it, but the shark chases them and forces them away. Sandy offers to get Milly the treasure, but she insists that it is better not collected, and runs back into the cave with the empty chest. Milly returns to find Leeko in trouble with the monster, and she opens the chest to find one last piece of jewelry inside : a golden hand-mirror. She tosses it to Leeko and he vacuum-mouths it to get the Mirror Copy Ability. From there, Mirror Leeko blocks Mudlett's attacks, confuses it using mirror copies of himself, then finishes it off by slicing it in half with the Mirror Cut move. Later on, Milly has Hover open the treasure chest in front of all the Puffies, revealing only the picture discovered in the cave. However, this time, the picture portrays the pirate's dragonfly with a body that matches Hover's, proving his nobility to all those present. It is later shown, however, that Milly doctored this image using some paint in order to help Hover out. The episode ends as Hover insists, regardless, that nobody treat him like royalty anymore, and Milly, Manny, and Leeko comment on the situation.
