Icarus has a bad cold and Ripples suggests he Polly and Jason go collect some healing seaweed down in the great depths of the sea. Jason, though scared of the dark place where the herbs grow, decides to go along with the others in the hope of finding the old shell he dropped there years back. On their way down to the great depths, our three friends meet Dido e Dado and promise to recover their ball, which the two lost just where they’re off to. After penetrating into the depths, Ripples and his gang find themselves in the deepest darkness, but Flish and Flash, two fish who can produce enough light to survive in that environment, help them. These two new companions show our three young explorers the sights; during the trip Jason finds his shell, but can’t recover it because a little surly worm who now lives inside it won’t let him. Our trio, after also finding Dido and Dado’s ball, collect enough healing seaweed and, after discovering that the awesome “Great Dragon’s Mouth” is nothing but a crater that spits out jets of water, use it to be pushed back up from the depths and head back home. They manage to return Dido and Dado’s ball and treat Icarus’s cold.
