But when a mysterious contraption lands in the center of town, no one knows what to make of it. The lobster thinks it\'s a restaurant. The bluefish thinks it\'s a trap. No one is brave enough to go near it until they realize that flounder is trapped underneath!
When Hermit Crab comes upon the contraption looking for the source of the delicious smell, he inadvertantly rescues the flounder and everyone in town cheers his triumph, but is he the hero or is his shell?'
