After hearing a great pirate story from Onny, Yam Yam finds Ruddle and Bodkin about to go on a fishing trip. Yam Yam decides that fishing is something a pirate would do and goes on the trip with them. Whilst fishing, they see a large pirate ship heading towards Rainbow’s End, captained by a parrot and his first mate, the alligator. The parrot turns out to be an old friend of Gully’s and he invites her onto his ship for a meal. Ruddle and Bodkin try to get on the ship and end up stuck in a couple of barrels. Whilst Yam Yam is trying to get on he breaks through the floor causing the ship to leak, which Ruddle has to fix - something he can only do when he gets free of the barrel.
