Three lazy misfits, very timid Elliot (Larry the Cucumber), lazy Sedgewick (Mr. Lunt), and no self-confidence George (Pa Grape), dream of the day of putting on a show about pirates. With their own problems of might not having this dream come true, they soon find themselves traveling back in time into the 17th century and begin a quest to rescue a royal family from an evil tyrant, and learn about being pirates.
