Plot
Three lazy misfits-- Elliot, Sedgewick and George (Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape)- dream of the day when they can quit their jobs as busboys at the Pieces of Ate Dinner Theater and take the stage to star in the big pirate show. But with Elliot's timidity, Sedgewick's laziness and George's lack of self-confidence, it seems as if the day to prove who they really are will never come. However, when an artifact called a "HelpSeeker" arrives from the past, it sends the three back in time into a real pirate adventure, setting in motion a series of events that drags the trio back to the 17th century, where they face danger, their fears, and become unlikely heroes in a battle to rescue a royal family from an evil tyrant. In this story they each learn to be a real pirate, hero, and friend.
