## Plot

Rapunzel takes everyone to see Hook Hand in concert. However, this brings back bad memories in Hook Foot, as he was always overshadowed and looked down on by his elder brother. Hook Hand is revealed to be employed by the self-centered King Trevor who wants Hook Hand to perform at the wedding ceremony between the royal Seal of Equis: Trevor Jr. and his female mate: Luseal.
