The TVOKids logo appears on a white flag next to a pirate symbol that sits on an open book. The name of the show reads "Bookaneers."

In animation, Skaggs, Fibber and the Captain sing on the pirate ship.

They song says WE STOLE A TREASURE
FAIR AND SQUARE
AND DIDN'T MEAN TO GLOAT
BUT SOME OTHER PIRATES
WANT TO TAKE IT
OUR CAPTAIN TOLD US,
HIDE THE TREASURE
TAKE IT FAR FROM VIEW
AND I'LL SEND ALONG
A WRITTEN NOTE
TO TELL YOU
WHAT TO DO

As the other pirates attack the pirate ship, Skaggs and Fibber take the treasure down to the hold and wait there for instructions.

[shouting-shuffling]

The animation ends.

Skaggs says SOUNDS LIKE THEY'VE
STORMED THE QUARTER DECK.
MAYBE WE SHOULD GO
GIVE AID TO THE BATTLE.

Fibber says HAS THE GOUT FROM YOUR
GOBLET PICKLED YOUR BRAIN?
THE CAPTAIN TOLD US
TO GUARD THE TREASURE
AND WAIT FOR THE NOTE.

Skaggs says BUT WHAT IF THE
CAPTAIN BE –

A pirate climbs down the ladder and says THE CAPTAIN HAS A
SPECIAL JOB FOR YE.
HERE ARE YE
INSTRUCTIONS.

He climbs back up to the deck.

The note reads "Hoist the Mainsail."

Skaggs says HOIST THE MAINSAIL.

Fibber says HOIST THE
WHICH-WHAT?

He grabs a wine gallon.

Fibber says HUH?
THAT'S NOT
A MAINSAIL.
MAYBE
THIS
IS
A MAINSAIL.

She grabs a long rope.

Skaggs says I'M PRETTY SURE
THAT'S JUST A ROPE.

On the deck, the captain and the pirate fight against the thieves.

The captain says WHAT ARE THEY GROANING
ABOUT DOWN THERE?
DIDN'T YOU GIVE
THEM MY NOTE?

The pirate rolls his eyes and says GRRR!

He goes back down in the hold.

Skaggs and Fibber are carrying the chest on their shoulders.

The pirate says THERE'S NO TIME TO
BE MEASURING LOOT.
THE CAPTAIN IS
WAITING FOR YE
TO DO YE TASK.
WE'VE GOT RATS
IN THE RIGGING!

Fibber says WE'RE HOISTING
EVERYTHING WE CAN,
BUT THE NOTE WAS
A TRICKY ONE.

The pirate says HOIST THE MAINSAIL.

Skaggs says YEAH, THAT'S WHAT
WE READ, TOO.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT A MAINSAIL BE.

The pirate says LOOK, IF YOU EVER
HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A
BIG TRICKY WORD, YOU
CAN FIND SMALLER WORDS
INSIDE OF IT.
DO YOU SEE ANY WORDS IN
HERE THAT YOU MIGHT KNOW?

Skaggs says UH... SAIL.
I SEE THE WORD SAIL.
I KNOW WHAT
SAIL MEANS.

The pirate says GOOD.

Fibber says OH, I KNOW THE
WORD MAIN.
I KNOW WHAT
MAIN MEANS.

The pirate says RIGHT, SO THE MAINSAIL
IS A MAIN... SAIL.
MAINSAIL IS A
COMPOUND WORD.

Fibber says ARGH!
WELL, BLOW ME DOWN.
HOIST THE MAINSAIL!

They hoist the mainsail and the thieves fall off the ship.

They say WHOA!

The Captain says THEY DID IT!
WE'RE PULLING
AWAY UNSCATHED.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

The pirate says I CANNOT.
SIMPLY CAN NOT.

The announcer says AND SO THE BOOKANEERS'
GREAT READING SAVED THE DAY
ALLOWING THEM TO
KEEP THEIR TREASURE...
THIS TIME.
