Plot[]
Ariel and her friends are practicing their song for the Splash-A-Palooza. Lucia tells Fernie and Flounder that it will be cool when they play the song. Ariel is searching for something missing for their song when Flounder shows off his Flounder Flip Flex. Ariel states that the song needs her tibble-tuber, which sounds like a flute. The others like it, and their song sounds better with the tibble-tuber. A dolphin then arrives, having loved the song. He then introduces himself as Delfino, and Ariel introduces herself and her friends to him. Delfino is hesitant to say that he wants to be part of the band, as he always wanted to play in the Splash-A-Palooza. Ariel accepts the offer, and Delfino squeals happily. Fernie mentions what a dolphin squeal is.
Delfino states that he was so excited to be part of the band, he didn't think about what to do. Ariel promises to find something clam-azing for him to do in the band. Ariel then demonstrates her singing voice, but Delfino's voice is so loud that it rumbles the crystal cavern and shatters a few objects. Lucia suggests Delfino play a pandereta. At first, he gets it, but gets stuck through it. When trying to free himself, he bumps all around the cavern until Fernie takes it off.
Ariel states that there has to be something Delfino is good at. She has an idea about Delfino playing her tibble-tuber. He likes the instrument, and after Ariel motivates him, he decides to play it. However, he sends Flounder very high, and decides to leave as he isn't good at anything, although Ariel reminds him of his dream and that everyone is good at something.
With the Splash-A-Palooza about to start, Ariel and her friends head to the marketplace to practice their song. For Delfino to be in the band, Ariel and her friends will give him a super fantastic show. However, Ariel throws her tibble-tuber, which then shatters on the ground. Delfino then arrives, and is told by Ariel and the others about their situation. When he squeals, Flounder, followed by Fernie, Lucia, and Ariel, notice that that is Delfino's talent. Ariel mentions that his squealy sounds are a part of his voice, and every voice has a purpose. So, Delfino decides to join the band, which then performs their song, making the Splash-A-Palooza a success.
