Plot Summary
[]

Allstar and Casey are walking Occy one afternoon at the Snorkland amusement park when a chainsaw fish enters town and causes chaos. They try to stop it, but even Corky cannot do it. So they contact Jojo by ringing bells, and he then tries to stop it. At first this fails, but then he throws a large rock at its nose, and then it's broken, causing the chainsaw fish to leave. Everyone cheers on for Jojo, but he feels they only like him for his muscles.

Daffney then convinces him to join her and the others in Ms. Seabottom's sculpture class in order for him to not feel bad about himself. He uses his hand to sculpt what looks like a monster, and Governor Wetworth flips out, assuming it's some sort of alien-like creature that has inhabited onto their territory. Jojo feels bad again, but then the Seaworthys leave to go visit Allstar's grandmother, leaving Allstar the golden opportunity to allow Jojo to help clean the house for him. Jojo ends up doing more hands on work (literally) by removing the barnacles off the roof of his house with his bare hands, causing a big mess. Thankfully, it's cleaned up in time, so Daffney tells him to go do mroe stuff for people. This backfires, and soon enough a traffic jam takes place all because he was trying to help an older woman get across the street. Daffney then tells him that he can't do everything becuase he'll make other snorks feel small, and that it's best if he just sticks to being himself.
