Plot
At the beach in Honolulu, Sheega is on lifeguard duty as she sees Flippy rowing his boat in the ocean. Sheega sees a generic tree friend drowning. She blows her whistle and goes airborne into the sea to grab the generic tree friend and do CPR on her. As Sheega does this, her arm gets cut on something spikey. She picks it up and it is a limpet snail shell. Sheega finishes her CPR and revives the generic, she decides to put on a shell hunt.

At her beach house, Lifty and Shifty come in to see what Sheega is up to. She is organizing the shell hunt. Sheega sees them and tells them they are in the hunt. The boys laugh and join Sheega for dinner.

A few days later, teams of Petunia, Giggles, Flaky, JJ and Lifty & Shifty gather in Maui. Sheega announces the rules of the shell hunt. The first team to find the most shells at the end of the week wins a special prize, golden shell necklaces she made. Sheega hits the gong sending the 3 teams off to go shell hunting. Lifty & Shifty head to Kula and dig up some shells. Grin asks the 2 what they are doing. Shifty shows Grin a shell in which a hermit crab pops out and kills Grin by clipping off his arms causing him to turn pale as Grin dies. Lifty and Shifty see the hermit crab and throw it out and dig deeper. Meanwhile in Kapaa, Petunia has found a bunch of broken shells. Giggles has found some and gives them to Petunia. In Pearl City, JJ and Flaky search underwater for shells in the ocean where they find some old shells. Back in Kula, Shifty has found a shell and stuffs it into his fedora. Lifty grabs some more and puts them in Shifty's fedora. The end of day 1 sees that in 3rd Place, Lifty and Shifty, in 2nd, Petunia and Giggles. Flaky and her brother JJ are in the lead.

Day 2 begins and Lifty & Shifty go out to Kuai for more shells. Petunia and Giggles head to Kula and search for shells. Petunia sees a shell with a crab in it and freaks out. She throws it and it lands on the head of a generic tree friend killing the generic by having the grab clip the face off the generic. In Honolulu, Flaky and JJ find some limpet snail shells all over the beach. Meanwhile in Kuai, Lifty and Shifty have found a whole bunch of shells. Shifty stuffs them into his fedora and they head back to Maui to turn in their shells for results. Lifty and Shifty knock JJ and Flaky to 3rd place as they take first place in day 2.

The days pass. Day by day, the 3 teams find shells and turn them in. The last day of the hunt takes place in Maui. Lifty and Shifty and the other 2 teams compete to get the most shells. Shifty spots a bunch of limpet snail shells and he stuffs them in his fedora. One of them tears a hole in the fedora. Lifty sees the hole and once Shifty turns in his first load, he gets out his sewing kit to fix the hole. Lifty finds some pretty sea shells and puts them in Shifty's fedora.

The final results are in 3rd place Petunia and Giggles, in 2nd place, JJ and Flaky. The grand winner is Lifty and Shifty. They laugh when they hear they found the most shells. Sheega awards them their prize. She gives the runner's up sea shell necklaces for sportsmanship. Lifty and Shifty gaze as their necklaces ending the episode.
