Plot[]
While sailing through the waters of Shipwreck Beach, Captain Hook is determined to claim the giant gold doubloon of Danger River. Mr. Smee tries to remind his captain that there isn't a gold doubloon in Danger River, but Hook cuts him off. Meanwhile, while sailing the open Never Sea, Jake and his crew meet Nanny Nell, who asks if they can tell her where to find James. Jake and his crew don't recall any children on Never Land named James, but Nanny Nell clarifies that James is now an adult and they might know him better as Captain "James" Hook, much to the young pirates' surprise. Jake and his crew agree to assist Nanny Nell locate Hook, who has grown more furious at his bumbling crew tangled within the Jolly Roger's rigging when Jake and his friends arrive, claiming that they have a surprise for him. However, Hook doesn't feel like being trouble by the sea pups, until he spots the familiar face of his childhood nanny and welcomes her aboard his vessel. Nanny reveals to Hook that she was sent by his mother to get his ship in ship-shape order. With Nanny Nell taking care of both Hook and the Jolly Roger, Smee began to feel that his services aren't needed and decides to slip away aboard the rowboat to find a captain that needs his help. Not noticing that Smee is missing, Captain Hook is more determined to claim the giant gold doubloon, and sets sail for Danger River. Meanwhile, Jake and his crew bump into Mr. Smee rowing away and ask him what's wrong. Smee explains his dilemma, but Jake insists that Smee can't leave, and without his guidance Hook is sure to get into trouble. Skully assures Smee that Jake is telling the truth, and spots the Jolly Roger heading into Danger River. Smee had been fearing that Hook would enter that dreadful place searching for treasure; there is no treasure in the river, which is home to the legendary sea monster known as the Groogar, sealed behind a golden door. Jake and his crew accompany Smee and set sail after Hook. Meanwhile, Hook and his crew soon discover the golden door, still believing it to be a giant doubloon. Hook orders Sharky and Bones to pry it from the cliff but it won't move. Nanny Nell suggests using the Jolly Roger's anchor to pry the giant gold doubloon, releasing the Groogar from its prison as it attacks the Jolly Roger with its tentacles. Jake, his crew and Smee finally arrive to help. Much to Hook's surprise, Smee confesses that he thought Hook didn't need him any longer. Captain Hook assures his trusted first mate that he'll always need his help. No sooner does Hook say those words than the Groogar captures Nanny Nell. Jake and his friends quickly spring into action with Izzy's pixie dust. While Mr. Smee keeps the Groogar distracted, Jake frees the golden door from the anchor. As the Groogar attempts to capture Smee it releases Nanny Nell, who is rescued by Izzy and Cubby, allowing Jake and Smee to seal the Groogar back behind the golden door. With the Groogar back in its prison, Nanny Nell informs Smee that she'll assure Mama Hook that with him around, James will always be in good hands. Captain Hook is also grateful to his trusty first mate, assuring Smee again that he'll always need his services to keep the Jolly Roger and himself safe. Jake and his crew soon return to Pirate Island to place the gold doubloons they collected on today's adventure into the Team Treasure Chest. Meanwhile, back on the Jolly Roger, Hook says farewell to Nanny Nell before heading back to his cabin for a nap. Mr. Smee informs Hook to keep his collection of hooks nice and tidy, to which Hook complies.
