Plot
In Water Bottom, Kine works on a new plan to steal the Whipped Cream formula until Robby argues that Turtle is the real responsible for all his previous failures and not Mr. Crabs. That same night, Kine sneaks into the Crusty Crab and scans a Whipped Cream to print the formula but Turtle, inadvertently, causes Kine to fall into a deep fryer and lose the formula while the latter was searching for his keys. This leads Kine to understand that Robby was right in her suspicions.

Meanwhile, in Ocean City, selfish ruler King Shark has just used up all the feathers from his latest sea bird, which is necessary to keep him rejuvenated. Since sea birds are almost extinct, Shark decrees the obtaining of a new bird. Kine finds out about this and kidnaps Turtle's pet bird Tweety so that Turtle will go to find him and thus not interfere with Kine's plans. The next morning, Turtle learns from Starfish that Tweety was taken to Ocean City. However, Kine offers Otto, a robot built by Oyster, to take them to the city. Without Turtle cooking Whipped Cream, the Crusty Crab's enraged customers destroy the restaurant despite Mr. Crabs and Octopus's efforts to stop them. Otto drives Turtle and Starfish to an old Western town where they meet a pufferfish named Sage.

Sage reveals that they are in a dream and must overcome a special mission to continue their search. He gives them a "Challenge Coin" that will embrave them into a pirate ship haunted by zombie pirates. Following a small musical number with Snoop Dogg, Turtle and Starfish discover that the pirates' souls are trapped by an evil spirit known as "El Diavlo" and their mission is to free them. El Diavlo traps them in his office but they accidentally disintegrate him with the sunlight by uncovering some window curtains. The pirates' souls are freed and Turtle and Starfish continue on their travel until Otto wakes them up, thus revealing that everything was a dream.

Now accompanied by Sage, Turtle discovers that Shark is using Tweety's feathers to stay young and as soon as it runs out, he will have him enslaved with the rest of his previous dried bird. Arriving at Ocean City, Sage warns the pair not to be distracted by the city's attractions, which they ignore. After a fun-filled night, Turtle and Starfish discover that they have lost the "Challenge Coin" that allowed them to be brave, but they still reach into Shark's palace. When they try to take Tweety away, both are arrested. Back in Water Bottom, Kine arrives at the Crusty Crab and a depressed Mr. Crabs gives him the formula because nothing is the same without Turtle. Finding out that Turtle and Starfish will be executed in a luxury show, Mr. Crabs, Octopus, Oyster and Kine decide to go find and save them.

In prison, Sage reveals to Turtle and Starfish that the "Challenge Coin" never had powers and that the bravery came from themselves. When Turtle is about to be executed because Starfish had made a deal with Shark's Chancellor to save himself, Mr. Crabs, Octopus, Oyster and Kine burst into the show to testify in favor of Turtle. Along with Starfish, each recounts an experience they had in their childhood with Turtle when they were at a summer camp, earning the audience's gratitude. Afterwards, the group perform a musical number to distract Shark and taking Tweety away. Shark realizes the distraction and orders his guards to capture the group. Turtle and his friends manage to sneak around the palace to the exit, but are once again cornered when Otto forgets to pick them up.

Shark confronts them but gleefully orders the charges dropped for amusing him. However, he also does it on the condition that Turtle gives Tweety and never come back for him. Remembering Sage's words, Turtle gains courage and refuses, arguing that his friends went out of their way to help him in the rescue. When Shark finds out that he has no friends, reveals that he needs the feathers for his appearance, Turtle offers to be his friend and tells him that beauty is on the inside and that he doesn't need to hide it. This causes Shark to remove all his arrangements and returns to his true appearance. Everyone accepts him for who he is and Shark lets Tweety stay with Turtle.

Otto drives the group back home while Shark releases all his enslaved birds to accompany them and Water Bottom ends up becoming a "sea bird refuge".
