Official Description"A cargo ship crashes on the island with an elephant on board. Zig has a zillion ideas of how to capture the mermaid thanks to his new oversized ally. The elephant, however, soon gets fed up with the hyena’s hysterical plans and balks…" PlotThe episode begins with a cargo ship crashing onto the island. A crate almost falls on Zig, but an elephant runs out, trampling him. While hurt, Zig decides to use the pachyderm to get an advantage for catching Marina. After feeding the elephant a banana, Zig has him use his very long trunk to extend him all the way towards Marina, but unfortunately Sharko catches on. He comes onto the island, unscrews the elephant's trunk from its nose, and blows Zig so hard that he crashes onto the camera lens. Zig's second attempt is to have the elephant push the volcano to have lava coming out of it. As the lava mixes with the salt water to form molten rock, Sharko reforms into a statue of a man holding a functioning barbecue grill. Zig's third attempt is to have the elephant swing Zig towards Marina, but the force sends Zig to the moon. The elephant tugs on Zig to bring him back, but he brings the moon back with him. After reading a book about bats, Zig takes off the elephant's tusks and ears to make a bat costume for himself. He tries to fly towards Marina, but Sharko jumps on him, before taking the tusks and putting them in his mouth before beating him up with them. Zig's fifth attempt is to have the elephant catapult him towards Marina, but he lands in the volcano instead. The hyena's sixth attempt is to have the elephant blow him on a surfboard on water towards the mermaid, but Marina opens an umbrella, causing Zig to land on it. After Marina throws the umbrella away, Sharko uses it as a toothpick before he realizes that Zig is still on it. He then blows Zig back to the island. Zig's seventh attempt is to have the elephant roll on a beach ball towards Marina, but Sharko performs dolphin-like tricks before sending them back to the island. His eighth attempt is to have the elephant's trunk vacuum Marina towards them, but the suction force picks up a loaded cannon that had been laying on the sea floor, causing both Zig and the elephant to explode. At this point, the elephant had had enough with Zig and his antics, but the hyena bribes him with another banana, so the elephant goes to get Marina personally. Using his trunk as a snorkel, the elephant sends Sharko away by winding up his tail before picking up Marina and taking her to the island. However, the elephant refuses at the very last second to give Marina to Zig and Bernie, instead releasing her before sitting on the hyena and hermit crab. The elephant later on catches another freighter and waves goodbye as he leaves. The episode ends with Sharko coming onto the island and beating Zig and Bernie to a pulp as they are still buried in the sand. TriviaErrorsGalleryVideoReferences |
