Plot
At the beach, Snooty wanders around in search of seashells while Cranky fishes on his beat. Snorkels arrives and quickly plans to go diving. He runs across the dock and jumps off, flying briefly before jumping in the water. Richie decides to have a snorkelling trip of his own so he can add pearls to his collection.

Snorkels swims down to a coral reef and takes snapshots of numerous sea creatures. He photographs a school of marlins, blinding them and causing them to impale each other with their noses. Then he snaps a photo of a pufferfish and makes it puff, right next to pointed coral, popping it. A blinding flash causes an octopus to tangle itself with its tentacles. Snorkels feels his stomach growl and sees Snappy swimming by. He chases after him in pursuit of a quick lunch.

Meanwhile, Richie swims towards a giant clam and tries to pry it open. He soon succeeds and finds a beautiful giant pearl inside. Just before he could reach for it, Snorkels knocks him into the clam and it closes. After moments of struggling, Richie manages to open the clam again, but as he is about to escape with the pearl, the clam closes on his tail. A fishing hook pierces Richie in the eye and pulls him upward. The fishing hook is shown to be coming from Cranky, who is angrilly pulling on his line. Eventually he pulls out Richie's organs and drops the huge pearl on his head.

The pearl lands back in the water and drifts along the surface. Snorkels swims to it, but Cranky's blood spills in the water and gets him surrounded by hungry sharks. Not far from the carnage, Snooty sulks about not finding one seashell. However, the pearl drifts ashore and she happily picks it up. Later, she goes to a store and has it turned into an earring. She clips it onto her ear, but the pearl is so heavy that it rips her ear off.

Moral
"Every sea has its pearls."
