The Case of Happy Plumb

**The Case of Happy Plumb** is the twenty-eighth episode of Season 1 of Fishtronaut and the twenty-eighth episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with Marina telling the story of "The Frog Prince" to Fishtronaut (with a frog on the top of him) and Zeek. However, Zeek and Fishtronaut are curious of what the story is about and they interrupt Marina who is narrating to Fishtronaut. As Marina continues narrating the story, Zeek interrupts again after listening to the story again and Marina tells him to listen to the whole story in order to understand. As soon as the frog leaves Fishtronaut's helmet, Marina tells the two to let her finish the story. Before she could continue the story, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a crown on a rock and a ship in a bottle

Receiving the clues, Zeek thought the crown and rock clue that there would be a prince who turned into a frog in the park and the only way to break the spell would be for Marina to kiss (which does not really happen, since a frog turning into a prince occurs in fairytales such as "The Frog Prince"). When thinking of looking for a frog, the trio decides to visit Yellow Frog Swamp. Upon meeting a frog, he tells him if he recognizes the crown. The frog sees the crown and tells him he only heard this in fables. Zeek tells him if there is a king in the park, but the frog says there wouldn't be an official king in the park. Fishtronaut suggests the trio to split up while he goes to the bottom of the lake to talk to Happy Plumb about the bottle clue as he tells Marina and Zeek to figure out the crowned king. Marina tells Fishtronaut to meet her and Zeek at Quiet Lake. Marina thought of a lion, one of the kings in the park.

Upon meeting the lion, Marina asks him if he could help the two. The lion agrees to help the two as Marina says that he's the king of the park. Marina tells him if he lost his crown, but the lion says that he never wears a crown and he's not the only king in the park and is just one of the kings in the park. He also tells the two that there are many animals species have kings, such as the king cobra and the king vulture. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the cove, Fishtronaut goes to the spot where Happy Plumb was supposed to be. However, a miniature fish is sitting in the spot where Happy Plumb was supposed to sit. When Fishtronaut shouts out Happy Plumb's name, the miniature fish tricks him by trying to make a tale about Happy Plumb. Fishtronaut tells him that he's not Happy Plumb and the fish then doesn't listen to what Fishtronaut says by making up a fake tale that a sea witch cast a spell on him. Upon meeting Rosy Barb, Fishtronaut tells her to look at the fish that is confused to be Happy Plumb. Rosy then tells him that this is just a tiny fish who likes to tell fake tales. As soon as the tiny fish leaves, Fishtronaut tells Rosy to know where Happy Plumb is at. Rosy then tells Fishtronaut that he left early and then gives him an invitation for the 34th International Goliath Grouper Meeting.

Fishtronaut then sees a crown on the rock on the invitation, which is one of the P.O.P.'s clues (which is a Goliath grouper symbol as explained by Rosy and Happy Plumb is a Goliath grouper fish and the drawing means a king of the rock). Fishtronaut and Rosy decide to talk to Marina and Zeek up on the surface. Upon meeting Marina and Zeek, they tell Fishtronaut and Rosy that the lion isn't the only king in the park and the other kings are the king snake and the king vulture. When Fishtronaut thought of the drawing on the invitation, he tells Marina that he figured out the mission and the drawing is the same as one of the P.O.P.'s clues and Fishtronaut tells her that Happy Plumb is supposed to be at the King of the Rocks Meeting. The gang, except for Zeek, decides to go to the meeting to make sure Happy Plumb is safe. Underwater, the gang meets Ollie to know where the Goliath Grouper Meeting is taking place. Ollie then points to the sign with a crown on the rock outside the cave. Inside the cave, the gang is confused to know which one of the groupers is Happy Plumb. Rosy then decides to ask each grouper to know which one is Happy Plumb while Fishtronaut and Marina look at the guest book. Rosy could not find Happy Plumb in the meeting and his name isn't in the guest book either, because Happy Plumb isn't with the other groupers yet. As Fishtronaut shows the ship in the bottle, Rosy then explains to Fishtronaut that Goliath groupers like to stay inside shipwrecks and once Marina thought of the clue, she thought that Happy Plumb may be in trouble in the shipwreck.

Fishtronaut, Marina, and Rosy decide to ask any fish if they saw Happy Plumb. Neither the pufferfish, nor the clownfish, nor the sea snail, nor the stingray have seen Happy Plumb. However, the stingray explains to the gang that the shipwreck is the most visited ship in the area and that Goliath groupers love to swim into this place. The gang decides to enter the shipwreck to know if Happy Plumb is there. Upon hearing some snoring inside the ship, Fishtronaut then uses the stethoscope to examine if this is a snoring behind the door. Fishtronaut found out that the snoring comes from Happy Plumb, who is inside the shipwreck. Upon meeting Happy Plumb, he thanks Fishtronaut, Marina, and Rosy for rescuing him inside the shipwreck. Happy Plumb then explains that he was on his way to the meeting and heard about the ship and decided to stop at the shop for a while. Marina then explains to Happy Plumb that how he was trapped in the shipwreck; Happy Plumb then explains that as the door was open and didn't see a bookshelf leaning against the door and the bookshelf fell through the door when Happy Plumb went in, blocking the way. Happy Plumb also explained that he tried to get out of the shipwreck using another door with a wheel on it, but the door was locked; when no one showed up, Happy Plumb then decided to take a nap to save some of his energy.

Having freed Happy Plumb inside the shipwreck, Rosy then suggests him to go to his spot to get some rest. Happy Plumb then explains that he must go to an important meeting before he could get some rest. Meanwhile at the meeting, Happy Plumb is awarded a medal as soon as he arrives. Meanwhile, Fishtronaut and Marina went back to the surface and met Zeek, saying that the mission for rescuing Happy Plumb is a success. All of a sudden, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** a book of fables

Receiving the reward, Marina tells the story of "Puss in Boots" to Fishtronaut and Zeek. All of a sudden, a cat arrives in the park. Zeek then interrupts Marina if he could assume the role of Puss in Boots (which would be depicted as a monkey), and Marina says that he could portray himself in boots.
