## Full Plot

During a cruise for a family vacation, The Brothers and The Buttercup Sisters turn the ship into their personal playground, causing trouble. Jeff notices that his old boss Chad Crosswire is working as a pelican on the cruise and watching to see if the Brothers misbehave. Danny and Marlon were grabbed by Jeff (Corey is watching *Jungle Octopus 3*) when they are caught in the casino. The captain allows them one more activity: Shuffleboard. Danny decides to go para-sailing on a kite and he is blown away with the other brothers who are holding on. Jeff tries to take a hang glider to go after them but Ian attempts to stop him and they both end up in the ocean.

Meanwhile, the one number, one letter, and shape star and dogs find an island and sleep for the night. Jeff enlists Ian's help find the same island and begin looking for the the one number, one letter, and shape star and dogs.

The next morning, The Brothers go and find food and while doing so, an island castaway named Jessie shows up and sees The Brothers and The Buttercup Sisters for the first time. They then go to Jessie's tree house on a zip line. As Cindy tries to get out of the basket, she falls and sprains her ankle. Soon after Marlon gets bitten by a spider that carries a neurotoxin. Jessie said it isn't a big deal and that she is normal, despite being bitten twice a day the spiders.

When Danny prepares to sleep, Marlon has trouble sleeping. The next morning, Corey observes Marlon's personality has changed, becoming a Spanish, adventurous number four named Malone and follows him. The two of them go bungee jumping.

Once Malone meets The Buttercup Sisters, he is overtaken by Luna and asks her to dance at Danny's dismay. Later, Jessie takes Marlon, Luna, Cindy, and Corey to a waterfall and Marlon finds a cave while Danny and Daisy are on the beach finding wood to make a shelter. He returns with a gold bracelet which he gives to Luna.

The next day, Daisy and Danny see an active volcano and they all decide to leave the island. Corey and Marlon finally find Jeff and Chad. When they all get together, preparation of a raft to get them off the island goes underway and everyone is assigned a job.

When the raft is finished, Luna and Marlon are still in the forest looking for food. Suddenly, Marlon gets knocked out with Jessie's golf ball and Jessie kidnaps Luna (with the help of her basketball). Marlon goes unconscious and reverts to his normal self when he wakes.

When Marlon is found, he cannot remember anything since the bite. Daisy, figuring Jessie is responsible, asks him where he found the gold bracelet that he gave to Luna, but he doesn't remember. Daisy then asks Cindy how to get there. When they approached the tree log to cross, Jeff and Danny decide they'll go and find Luna, while Chad and other brothers go back to the coast.

Jessie meanwhile forces Luna to get the treasure by tying her to a rope. As Danny and Jeff come to her rescue, the island begins to rumble again and Jessie lets go of the rope. Luna runs with Jeff and Danny back to the raft but is pulled back at the log bridge. Marlon swings in to help Luna before Danny can cut the rope with his Swiss Army Knife. Jeff is left hanging from the log when it almost gives way.

After Danny and Ian convince Jessie to help save Jeff, they run towards the raft and escape the eruption. While on the raft, Jessie apologizes to Luna for kidnapping her and forcing her to get the treasure. As a gift, Luna gives Jessie the gold bracelet that Malone had given to her. Danny reconciles with Jeff and they are rescued.

The Brothers and The Buttercup Sisters perform at the International Music Awards. Chad regains his career and job back by selling Jessie's story to Hollywood.

In the film's epilogue, The Brothers, The Buttercup Sisters, and Jeff are on an airplane heading back to Los Angeles. Danny is speaking on the pilot's microphone that the plane's destination is set for Timbuktu, when the flight attendant announces the airplane will start to fly, Danny mistakenly pushes the food cart, which hits Jeff, making him scream, "*DANNNY!!!*".
