Life is good as these Blue Footed Boobies, joyfully dive for clean sardines - until, Mumford,
Tuey, Blue and Bea spy debris on their beach. While cautiously comforted by the sight
of Blue Footed Children putting garbage in a bucket, curious Blue gets snagged by a blob.
When revelation with a twist leaves hearts pounding in panic and looking to Mumford for
reason, their bond with these children grows. Then, follows jubilation and a plunge diving finale
and refrain: We race the nets of the fisherman's catch and the hungry whale's gulp - for clean
sardines - fin delights.
