For spring break, Lagoona (Laura Bailey (voice actress)) invites her friends to come with her to the Great Scarrier Reef. On the way the ship is attacked by a kraken and sinks, leaving the group stuck on a small raft. Nearby are two humans; Bartleby Farnum (Keith Silverstein), an eccentric show-and salesman and his assistant Kipling (Malcolm Danare), who covers his face with a sack because he is too horrible to look at. Farnum hears the young monsters shouting and, planning to exhibit them, saves them. Frankie resembles an explorer who had a particular attachment to a creature Farnum has wanted to capture for a long time, the Beast of Skull Shores, so he plans to use Frankie as bait.
