Ripples, Polly and Jason have dived under water during a rain shower and meet Lillo, who tells them to go somewhere else because the vault of his den is about to crumble away. Saddened by the news, they all join Icarus, who seeing a rainbow appear after the storm tells them all about the legend of the treasure at the end of the multi-coloured arch. Ripples and friends dive in to search for it, but all they find is an old frame with a broken creased canvas. Ripples has an idea: the three friends rush to Lillo’s den and wedge the frame at its entrance so supplying a support for the tumbledown vault, allowing their friend not to leave his den. Back on the fishing boat they tell their adventure to Icarus, coming to the conclusion that, though they didn’t find the treasure at the end of the rainbow, they managed to safeguard the home of a friend, a true treasure.
