Plot[]
Allstar and a kelp-helper
Allstar visits Clarence at the local ice stream shop one afternoon. A kelp-helper named Fuzzy Muzzle tries ordering one, but Clarence won't let him because the owner has forbidden kelp-helpers. Allstar feels bad, so he gives Fuzzy Muzzle his scoop. Grandpa (the eldest kelp-helper there) hates how a snork is helping a kelp-helper, but he assures not all snorks are bad. Allstar tries showing Fuzzy Muzzle and the others around town while they help clean the algae out of the Wetworth house when Junior goes over to insult them. An upset Fuzzy Muzzle cries, and soon the kelp helpers leave Snorkland for good.
School ends up getting closed until further notice becuase the kelp-helpers are gone and everyone has to clean up all the algae off the streets of Snorkland. Junior is also making the others clean the Wetworth mansion. The Snorklanders get angry with Governor Wetworth because of Junior's insults to the kelp-helpers in the first place, and so they throw algae at him in response. Even with seafood surprise covered in algae, Governor Wetworth still refuses to apologize to the kelp-helpers, even if the snorkeaters are after them because of the heavy algae.
Allstar finds the kelp-helpers, and he tells them the governor's willing to double their pay if they come back. However, they want an apology from him in person. The snorkeaters arrive, and the snorks distract themselves by disguising as snorkeaters. However this fails, and just as they're about to be eaten, Nuzzle gets out a snorkeater-eater which scares the snorkeaters away. Once Governor Wetworth and Junior apologize, they are welcomed back into town.
