Sara the seal and young Esmeralda watch as their den is being destroyed by a group of men who are building a harbour and go to see their friend Icarus to ask for advice. Having heard from a seagull that the seals are on their way, the pelican heads to the fishing boat taking Polly and Jason along, while Ripples wants to swim there and challenges Icarus to a race. The child thinks he knows a shortcut, but ends up getting lost in a cave where he meets Gustav, a lonesome crab who, not having anyone to tell his tales to, talks to himself.
Icarus and the others, meanwhile, after meeting Sara and Esmeralda, learn about their problem and offer to find them a new home. It isn’t an easy search, every place they find has a different drawback for the two seals. But in the end, Ripples suggests they go live with Gustav, who finally has someone to tell his tales to.
