Plot[]
Chef Louis is preparing his food and King Triton is delighted to have him. Flounder is excited to taste whatever Chef Louis is preparing and decides to help him with the noodles. Flounder mixes the noodles and Chef Louis shows more bowls. He brings up his noodle machine which makes the noodles. Chef Louis shows how it works, and Flounder likes the noodles. Chef Louis tells Flounder that part of being a great chef is that Flounder loves to feed everyone. Sebastian then arrives, telling Chef Louis that his beautiful snack-tower he made earlier toppled over.
As Chef Louis goes to fix the snack-tower, Flounder volunteers to make the noodles, claiming he knows all the steps to make them, although this is his first time using the machine. Ariel, Lucia, and Fernie arrive, and Flounder shows them how the noddle machine works. However, the noodles don't appear, and Flounder tries it again with the same result. Ariel tells Flounder to ask Chef Louis for help, and Flounder wonders if he should push or pull the lever.
Flounder ends up pushing the lever, and a noodle ball comes out, with many more shooting all over the place. The machine soon stops, and with the royal dinner guests arriving, Flounder states that he knows how to use the noodle machine this time. He messes up the steps, as he forgot to add the ingredients in. Flounder does the steps wrong, and as a result, the machine won't stop making noodles. Ariel, Lucia, and Fernie serve the noodles to the guests while Flounder goes to turn it off.
Meanwhile, everyone is liking the noodles and notice more noodles than usual. Ariel, Lucia, and Fernie catch up with Flounder, who finds a red button, which he pushes, but the machine still doesn't stop. Flounder claims he doesn't know how to use the machine and should've listened to them and asked Chef Louis for help. He then catches up with Chef Louis, who notices the noodles and stops the machine. Flounder tells Chef Louis everything that happened and apologizes for that. When Chef Louis first tried the noodle machine, he had trouble with it as there was too much for him to remember. He asked for help when he forgot to use it and that's how he became an expert. Flounder promises to ask for help next time.
As for the noodles, Flounder decides to share them with all of the friends in Atlantica, which Ariel and Chef Louis support. With everyone's help, all of the noodles are served to the guests and the kitchen is clean. Chef Louis gives Flounder his glow crystal spoon given to him by King Triton the last time he made a royal dinner, as Flounder helped feed all of Atlantica today. King Triton arrives, wanting more noodles, and Flounder makes them with Chef Louis teaching him how the noodle machine works.
