Plot[]
The Wiggles get to meet Captain Feathersword and his pirate mates Imran, Raj and Penelope. They all go on an adventure to find treasure. First, they have to go through a huge storm when they are travelling across the ocean. After the storm, they arrived safe on the island. Then they began to look around the island for the treasure that Captain Feathersword buried years ago. After they find the treasure, they all realise that the treasure is baked beans. Captain Feathersword remembered that he buried baked beans for them to eat. When they leave the island, they remember it was also Captain Feathersword's birthday, and the pirate mates are playing a trick on the Captain. A little while later, they surprise the Captain when he enters the room and he says that it was the best birthday that he ever had. Then the pirate mates sing a birthday song to him.
