A caption reads "TVO Kids and ABC present."

An animated shows the homes of 4 neighbour families with young kids and their pets: Chris and his cat Crat; Davey and his dog, Abigail; Oleander and her salamander Sally; and Poppy and Chaz.

They all climb up a hill and the letters of a sign that spell the name of the show. It reads "Big words, small stories."

The name of the episode reads "Just squidding."

At Oleander's house, her Papa Teddy holds a box of old toys and says LOOK WHAT WE FOUND
CLEANING OUT THE ATTIC.

The baby tears a rag doll's arm off and says OH! (CHUCKLES)

Teddy says MINUS THIS THING.

Daddy Ben says BACK TO IT.

Teddy says OFF TO THE CHARITY SHOP!

Oleander's pet salamander Sally shows up in a superhero costume and says TA-DAH!

Oleander says WOW! I'VE NEVER SEEN
YOU SO DRESSED UP!

Sally says I'M SUPER SAL -
THE SASSY SALAMANDER
FROM ANOTHER STAR!

She shows Oleander a comic book and says I'M EXCITED BECAUSE I JUST
FINISHED THE LATEST ISSUE -
IT'S THE BEST ONE YET!

She looks at a tank and says WOW! THIS IS PERFECT!

Oleander says FOR WHAT?

Sally says FOR THEM!

Oleander says ARE THEY SUPER SAL'S ENEMIES?

Sally says NO! THEY'RE AMAZING NEW PETS
YOU CAN GET:
"RAISE YOUR OWN FAMILY
OF ALIEN SQUID MONSTERS."

Oleander says ALIEN SQUID MONSTERS
AREN'T REAL.

Sally says YES, THEY ARE! "THEY SING,
DANCE, DO ACROBATICS..."

Oleander says THEY'RE JUST SAYING ALL THAT
SO YOU BUY THEM.
IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF...
MALARKEY!

The Sprinklers shout
MALARKEY!

Sprinkle Fairy shows up and says MALARKEY IS A BUNCH OF NONSENSE
THAT JUST ISN'T TRUE.
YOU KNOW,
LIKE THE AD IN THAT COMIC.
THEY'LL SAY ANYTHING
TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE THE SQUID
MONSTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL.

Sally gasps and says IT'S NOT MALARKEY!
THEY HAVE REVIEWS FROM OWNERS:
"THE ALIEN SQUID MONSTERS
ARE AMAZING
AND DEFINITELY REALLY REAL,"
SIGNED JIMMY NOT-A-FAKE-PERSON,
JUNIOR.

Oleander says YOU CAN'T BELIEVE
EVERYTHING YOU READ ONLINE.

Sprinkle Fairy says THAT'S RIGHT! BUT IF THOSE
SQUIDDY THINGS DO TURN UP,
SEND SOME MY WAY.
I COULD USE THE EXTRA TENTACLES
SINCE I'M CLEANING OUT
MY CLOSETS. TOODLES!

Oleander says YOU'RE NOT STILL GONNA BUY THEM?

Sally says I ALREADY DID.
THEY'LL BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
THERE'S SO MUCH
TO GET READY FOR THEM.
THEY'LL BE THE HAPPIEST
ALIEN SQUID MONSTERS EVER!

(music plays)

Sally makes a playground set for the squid monsters.

Oleander says YOU MADE ALL THIS FOR YOUR
MAKE-BELIEVE SQUID MONSTERS?

Sally says "ALIEN SQUID MONSTERS
COME FROM A PLANET
WHERE EVERY DAY
IS FUN, FUN, FUN."

Oleander says YOU KNOW
THAT'S JUST MORE MALARKEY.

Sally says COULD YOU PUT IT IN THE TANK
PLEASE? I HAVE STUFF TO DO.

(music plays)

Meanwhile, the Sprinklers do silly stuff inside the tank.

Oleander says YOU MADE THEM LITTLE CLOTHES?

Sally says SUPERHERO COSTUMES!
"YOUR ALIEN SQUID MONSTERS
WILL LOVE TO DRESS UP
AND PLAY PRETEND!"
IN THE TANK, PLEASE.

Oleander puts everything in the tank and says HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE
THAT MALARKEY?

Sally bakes and says SPECIAL ALIEN SQUID MONSTER
COOKIES!
SQUID MONSTERS LOVE TO EAT -
"BRUSSELS SPROUTS, BROCCOLI AND
BANANA COOKIES!"

Oleander says MORE MALARKEY. DISGUSTING TOO.
(DOOR OPENS)

Teddy comes back home.

Oleander says I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GETTING RID OF STUFF?

Teddy says WE ARE. THIS PARCEL WAS OUTSIDE.
IT'S FOR SALLY.
(HAPPY GASP)

Sally says MY SQUID MONSTERS! THEY'RE HERE!

She opens the box and says THEY'RE CARDBOARD.
NOT REAL AT ALL.
YOU WERE RIGHT.
IT'S ALL A BUNCH OF MALARKEY.

Oleander says THAT'S DISAPPOINTING.
BUT I BET IF WE PUT THEM IN THE
TANK, THEY'LL LOOK REALLY CUTE!

Sally says YEAH, OKAY.
I'M GOING UPSTAIRS TO READ.
(GIGGLES)

The Sprinklers have fun in the tank.

(SIGHS)

Upstairs, Oleander walks in the bedroom and says ARE YOU OKAY?

As she reads, Sally says SUPER SAL, THE SASSY
SALAMANDER IS ALWAYS OKAY.

Oleander says GREAT! WE'RE GOING TO PLAY
SUPERHEROES IF YOU WANT?

She walks in with her friend Davey and his dog, all in superhero costumes.

Sally says YOU BET!

Davey grabs the book and says LOOK! TALKING PLANTS FROM VENUS!
"HAVE HOURS OF FUN
WITH THESE WALKING, TALKING,
SUPER-INTELLIGENT PLANTS
FROM THE MYSTERIOUS CLOUD
FORESTS OF VENUS." I WANT THEM!

Sally and Oleander laugh and say MALARKEY!

Music plays as the end credits roll.
