Colourful fish and sea turtles swim in bright blue water.

Text reads, “Screen Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation present” “A Cheeky Little Media production.” “Created by Tim Bain.” “Series Producer: Patrick Egerton.”

[Rock music plays]

Voices sing, OVER THE OCEAN AND
OVER THE REEF,
THERE'S A SUNNY LITTLE PLACE
CALLED KANGAROO BEACH.

Frizzy, Gemma, Neville and Pounce leap off their beds. Frizzy is a young blue koala, Gemma is a pink platypus, Neville is a hairy-nosed albino wombat with a pink nose, and Pounce is a young yellow and orange kangaroo. They ride down a slide.

[Boing, slide whistles]

The voices sing, FRIZZY, GEMMA,
NEVILLE AND POUNCE,
CADETS IN THE CLUB
SO COME ON LET'S BOUNCE .

GOOD FRIENDS SURFING
SWIMMING, LEARNING.

[Screaming, whistle blows, splash]

Bondi, an orange kangaroo lifeguard, drives a boat. Sandy, a pink kangaroo lifeguard, stands beside him. Big Trev, a yellow wombat, pilots a small submarine.

The voices sing, BONDI, SANDY, BIG TREV, TOO,
TRAINING WITH THE VERY BEST
LIFEGUARD CREW.

STAYING SAFE, BEING BRAVE,
RIDE A WAVE, MAKE A SAVE.

WE'RE HERE ALL SUMMER,
IT JUST GETS FUN-ER.

LET'S HOP DOWN TO
KANGAROO BEACH.

[Water splashes]

White text beside a logo reads, “Kangaroo Beach.” The logo features an orange three-part circle around a white silhouette of a swimmer.

Blue text on sand beneath the Kangaroo Beach logo reads, “The Lagoon Monster.” White text beneath that reads, “Written by Simon and Tristan Dodd.”

Frizzy reads, "THE LAGOON MONSTER."

Lightning flashes in the dark sky over the headquarters.

[Water splashes, rain pours, thunder crashes, gentle music plays]

Frizzy holds a flashlight under her chin in a dark room. Pounce, Neville and Gemma sit around her on a carpet.

Frizzy says, SUDDENLY, FROM OUT OF THE SWAMP,
CAME A TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE...

Neville says, PLEASE BE SOMETHING
CUTE AND FLUFFY!

Frizzy shouts, ...SEAWEED MONSTER!

[Pounce and Neville gasp]

Gemma says, THAT'S JUST SILLY.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A MON--

The cadets notice a silhouette in a doorway.

[Thunder booms]

The cadets say, MONSTER!

Big Trev turns on a light.

Big Trev says, MONSTER?
I WAS JUST COMING TO SAY GOODNIGHT.

[Footsteps patter]

Sandy says, ALL RIGHT, CADETS.
ENOUGH EXCITEMENT FOR ONE NIGHT.
IT'S BEDTIME.

Pounce says, SURE.

The cadets say, OKAY!

[Whimpering, thunder rumbles, cadets scream, Big Trev yawns]

Big Trev grumbles, LESS SCREAMING,
MORE SLEEPING!

[Cadets groan]

The next day, the rain has stopped.

On a speaker, Bondi announces,
CADETS TO THE RESCUE BAY!

The cadets jump out of bed and run to a slide. They jump in and slide down.

[Exciting music plays]

Pounce says, AWESOME!

Neville says, YEAH!

Gemma says, WHOO, LET'S GO!

Neville cheers, WHOO-HOO!

A voice cheers, WHOO-HOO!

Frizzy says, YEAH!

[Laughing]

Neville says, WHOA!

[Laughing]

In the bay, Bondi and Sandy wait on a motorboat.

Bondi says, GOOD MORNING, CADETS.
HOP ON-BOARD . WE'RE HEADED OUT
THE LAGOON.

[Cheering]

Gemma says, LET'S GO! AWESOME!

[Excited chatter]

Bondi steers the boat to the lagoon. Leaves, seaweed and branches lie strewn across the water and shore.

[Upbeat music plays]

Neville says, WHAT A MESS!

Frizzy jokes, IT'S WORSE THAN POUNCE'S BUNK.

Bondi says, LAST NIGHT'S STORM
WASHED ALL THIS SEAWEED AND
DEBRIS INTO THE LAGOON.

Sandy says, AND THAT MAKES IT A TAD
TRICKY TO SEE WHAT'S ON THE BOTTOM.

[Splashing]

Soon, the lifeguards and cadets stand on the shore.

Bondi says, MUCKY WATERS CAN BE
DANGEROUS FOR SWIMMERS.

SO, CHECK FOR UNDERWATER HAZARDS FIRST.

Sandy holds a stick.

She says, THIS IS HOW TO CHECK FOR
SUBMERGED HAZARDS.

FEET FIRST, NICE AND SLOW,
CAREFUL NOT TO GET CAUGHT ON -
UGH - A BAD BOY LIKE THIS! YUCK!

[Splashing, crunching, playful music plays]

Bondi says, SO, CADETS, YOUR THRILLING,
ACTION-PACKED MISSION TODAY
IS... CLEAN-UP DUTY!

Sandy says, YEAH! WHO'S EXCITED?
LET ME HEAR YA!

Gemma asks, WE HAVE TO DO THIS?

Pounce grumbles, OH, GREAT!

[Gull cries]

Bondi says, OH, NOW, COME ON.

KEEPING THE WATER FREE OF
HAZARDS IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT JOBS WE LIFEGUARDS HAVE.

Pounce says, REALLY?
THEN, I'M GONNA CLEAN UP ALL THE
SEAWEED ALL BY MYSELF.

[Upbeat music plays]

Bondi says, HEY, YEAH, THAT'S THE SPIRIT.
WE'LL LEAVE YOU TO IT.

Bondi and Sandy hop back into the boat.

Sandy says, OH, AND DON'T FORGET TO WATCH
OUT FOR THAT SEAWEED MONSTER!

Bondi steers the boat away from the lagoon.

[Engine hums]

Neville says nervously, SEAWEED MONSTER?

Frizzy says, I KNEW IT!

Gemma drops an armful of leaves onto a pile.

[Rustling]

Gemma says, PLEASE!
THERE'S NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
THAT MONSTERS EXIST.

Frizzy argues, BUT THERE ARE
MONSTERS ON T.V.

Gemma says, THAT'S CARTOONS.
THEY'RE NOT REAL.

Neville asks, WAIT, CARTOONS AREN'T REAL?

[Water sloshes]

Frizzy asks, WHAT WAS THAT?

She shouts, IT'S THE SEAWEED MONSTER!

A figure covered with seaweed stands.

[Moaning, splashing]

Gemma asks, WHERE'S POUNCE?

[Gasp, upbeat music plays]

Frizzy says, OH, NO!
THE SEAWEED MONSTER MUST HAVE
EATEN HIM!

[Moaning, splashing]

Frizzy shouts, I'M GETTING THE LIFEGUARDS!

Gemma says, I'M GETTING MY CAMERA!

Neville shouts, I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!

Soon, Frizzy, Neville and Gemma arrive at the headquarters.

Frizzy says, SANDY! BONDI!
WE SAW IT!

[Tense music plays]

Neville says, GROWLING AND MOANING!

Sandy asks, ARE YOU SURE IT WASN'T
BIG TREV WAKING UP FROM A NAP?

Frizzy says, NO!
THE SEAWEED MONSTER!

Bondi says, WELL, THERE'S NO SUCH THING
AS MONSTERS.

SANDY WAS JUST PULLING YOUR LEG.
UH, R-RIGHT, SANDY?

Frizzy says, WE ALL SAW IT.
AND IT ATE--

Pounce asks, WHY'D YOU ALL RUN OFF?

Frizzy says, POUNCE?! POUNCE!
THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE NOT EATEN!

Pounce asks, WHA...?!

Neville says, WE THOUGHT THE SEAWEED
MONSTER GOT YOU!

Pounce asks, SEAWEED MONSTER?

Frizzy says, IT CAME OUT OF THE WATER,
COVERED IN SEAWEED, MOANING
AND GROWLING...

[Frizzy imitates the monster]

Pounce says, WHOA!
I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS IN THE
LAGOON WITH A SCARY SEAWEED
MONSTER! I'M SO BRAVE!

[Chuckling]

Sandy says, NICE TRY, KIDS,
BUT YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE.
GO ON, BACK TO WORK.

SEAWEED MONSTER, MY POUCH.

Neville says, BUT WE SAW IT WITH
OUR OWN EYES!

Frizzy says, WE'LL SHOW THEM!
CADETS, LET'S CATCH US A MONSTER.



Pounce says, YEAH!
LET'S SHOW IT WHO'S BOSS!

[Neville chuckles nervously]

[Splashing]

At the lagoon, Pounce, Neville and Frizzy hide behind debris on the beach.

[Gulls cry, upbeat music plays]

Pounce whispers, WE NEED TO KEEP
VERY, VERY QUIET.

ONCE THE MONSTER COMES OUT, AND
WE CATCH IT, THE LAGOON WILL BE SAFE.

Pounce holds a net.

Frizzy says, AND WE'LL ALL BE FAMOUS.

Neville says, AND GET TO GO BACK
TO OUR NICE, WARM BUNKS.

[Sloshing]

Pounce says, GOTCHA, YOU HORRIBLE,
SCARY... PLATYPUS?!

[Frizzy and Neville laugh]

Gemma says, OH, BRAVO, MONSTER HUNTERS.
WELL DONE. YOU GOT ME.

Neville asks, HAS ANYBODY GOT ANOTHER
MONSTER-CATCHING PLAN?

[Water sloshes]

Pounce holds a fishing rod. He casts a line into the lagoon.

Pounce says, LET'S ROCK AND REEL!
WHOA! I THINK I'VE GOT IT!
UH-OH!

[Splashing, creaking reel]

Frizzy says, POUNCE, BE CAREFUL!

Pounce says, OH, IT'S ANGRY.

Gemma says, THE FIRST PHOTOS OF A RARE,
NEW, EXOTIC ANIMAL.

Pounce says, GOT IT - HOOK, LINE AND...

Leaves fall on Neville’s face.

Neville says, AAAGH! AAAGH!

Gemma says, HMM. NOT QUITE AS
EXOTIC AS I HOPED.

Pounce says, IF WE'RE GOING TO DRAW THIS
THING ONTO LAND, WE'RE GONNA
NEED BAIT.

[Splashing]

Neville pokes his head out from under a tipped inflatable pool held up by a stick.

Neville asks, SO, WHAT ARE WE
USING AS BAIT?

Frizzy says, WOMBAIT!

Neville says, MMM, SOUNDS YUMMY!
WAIT, YOU MEAN ME?!

[Upbeat music plays]

Frizzy says, OH, NO!
DON'T WORRY, NEVILLE.

Pounce says, WE'LL BE RIGHT
HERE, KEEPING YOU SAFE.
FROM BEHIND THESE BUSHES.

Neville says, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M DOING THIS.


Pounce says, I CAN'T BELIEVE
HE'S DOING THIS!

[Munching]

Panda legs approach Neville’s hiding spot.

The panda says, MMM!

Neville screams, AAAGH!
THE MONSTER'S GOT ME ALREADY! HELP!

Lin, the panda, says, MMM!
HEY, NEVILLE, GOT ANY MORE OF
THOSE SNACKS? THEY'RE DELISH!

Neville says, OH! HI, LIN.

[Giggling, splashing]

The cadets stand on the shore. Each holds a fishing net.

[Upbeat music plays]

Pounce says, IT'S NO USE.
IT'S NOT COMING OUT.
SO, WE'LL HAVE TO GO IN.

[Splashing]

Frizzy says, I WONDER IF MONSTERS
LIKE DINNER THEATRE.

[Splashing]

She sings, I FEAR THIS MONSTER WISHES
FOR A MEAL THAT'S MORE THAN FISHES .

AND I'M JUST TOO DELICIOUS TO IGNORE.
I'LL TEACH THIS MONSTER TO BEHAVE.

WHEN I SING, I FEEL SO BRAVE.

I'M NOT SCARED.

I AM KOALA - HEAR ME ROAR!

AAGH! WHOOPS!

[Splashing]

Frizzy says, MY FOOT! MY FOOT!
THE MONSTER'S GOT MY FOOT!

[Neville claps]

Neville says, BRAVO! BRAVO!

Frizzy says, HELP!
SOMEBODY, HELP!

Neville asks, IS THIS PART OF THE SHOW?

[Splashing]

Frizzy says, NO!
THE MONSTER'S GOT MY FOOT!

Neville says, DON'T WORRY, FRIZZY!
POUNCE WILL SAVE YOU!

Pounce says, HYAH, HYAH!

GOTCHA! GET YOUR HANDS OFF
FRIZZY, YOU SEAWEED MONSTER!

[Splashing]

Neville says, I'LL GO AND GET
THE LIFEGUARDS!

Neville runs into the bay. Bondi and Sandy stand on the boat.

Neville says, BONDI! SANDY!

[Panting]

Neville says, SOMETHING'S GOT
FRIZZY BY THE LEG IN THE LAGOON!
I THINK IT'S THE SEAWEED MONSTER!


Sandy says, FRIZZY'S IN TROUBLE?

Sandy and Bondi say, ROOS...

Neville adds, AND WOMBAT!

Sandy says, OKAY.

Sandy and Bondi say, ...TO THE RESCUE!

The cadets, Bondi and Sandy prepare their rescue equipment.

[Alarm blares, exciting music plays, clicking, beeping, helicopter blades whirr, engine hums, whooshing]

[Engine hums, splashing]

Neville says, HURRY!
BEFORE IT EATS FRIZZY!

The boat arrives in the lagoon. Pounce and Gemma pull on Frizzy’s arms.

[Upbeat music plays]

Pounce says, WE'VE GOT YOU, FRIZZY!
PULL! PULL!

[Splashing]

Gemma says, THAT'S WEIRD.
WHY HASN'T THIS 'MONSTER' EATEN
HER YET?

Frizzy says, YEAH, I'M TOTALLY
SCRUMPTIOUS. WAIT, WHAT?!

Gemma says, STAY CALM, FRIZZY.
I'M GOING UNDER.

[Inhaling, splashing]

Gemma says, FRIZZY, IT'S NOT
A MONSTER. IT'S JUST A LOG.

POUNCE, GIVE ME A HAND.

Pounce says, OKAY.
ONE, TWO, THREE, LIFT!

[Laughing, cheering]

Gemma says, WE DID IT!

Soon, Pounce, Frizzy and Gemma sit on the shore.

Frizzy says, FANCY ME GETTING
MY FOOT STUCK UNDER A LOG.
NOT QUITE AS EXCITING AS A MONSTER.

[Upbeat music plays]

Pounce says, MAYBE I SHOULD GRAB
THAT LOG, SO NO-ONE ELSE TRIPS ON IT.

[Moaning, spooky music plays]

Pounce walks in the water, covered with seaweed.

[Frizzy and Gemma gasp, moaning, screaming]

Pounce says, WHOA!
THAT'S THE SECOND TIME THAT'S
HAPPENED TODAY.

Frizzy and Gemma say, WHA...?! HM.

[Boat engine hums]

Pounce says, OH. HI, NEVILLE.

The boat stops by Pounce.

Neville says, WOW!
POUNCE, YOU LOOK JUST LIKE THE
SEAWEED MONSTER!

[Gulls call]

Frizzy says, POUNCE WAS THE
SEAWEED MONSTER, NEVILLE.

Pounce says, I WAS?
WOW! I WAS!

[Splashing]

Neville asks, SO, JUST TO GET THIS
STRAIGHT - THERE WAS NO MONSTER?

[Upbeat music plays]

Frizzy says, NOPE. I JUST GOT MY
FOOT CAUGHT UNDER A LOG.

Pounce says, THE SAME LOG I TRIPPED
OVER AND GOT COVERED IN SEAWEED
AND MADE YOU ALL THINK I WAS THE
SEAWEED MONSTER.

Sandy asks, SO, LESSON LEARNED, EVERYBODY?
HIDDEN HAZARDS ARE WAY MORE
SCARY THAN SEAWEED MONSTERS.

Sandy picks up seaweed.

Bondi says, ARE WE ALL GOOD, YOUNGSTERS?
NOW, REPEAT AFTER ME -
"THERE'S NO SUCH AS A--"

[Moaning, growling]

Sandy stalks towards Bondi covered with seaweed.

Bondi shouts, MONSTER!

[Neville laughs]

Sandy says, SEAWEED MONSTER
COMING TO GET YOU, BONDI!

Sandy chases Bondi.

[Upbeat music plays]

Bondi says, AAAGH!
GET AWAY, GET AWAY!
AAAGH! AAAGH!
A SEAWEED MONSTER!

[Cadets laugh, chatter]

Sandy growls, SEAWEED MONSTER!

[Upbeat music plays]

Voices sing, WE'RE HERE ALL SUMMER
IT JUST GETS FUN-ER,
LET'S HOP DOWN TO
KANGAROO BEACH.
