Plot[]
The episode begins focusing on a ship with wheels, where a teenager dressed as a pirate named Captain Kid welcomes the kids to the ship, the Wandering Manatee. As they climbed, the Harvey Girls comment that the ship was in an edu-tourist attraction in Pirateburg, which arrived on Harvey Street for the anniversary of Captain Harvey's discovery of the greater Harveyton area. Then Lucretia is seen going to that place disguised as a pirate where she is surprised to find that the ship has changed its position, where she returns with a disappointed face.
The Harvey girls proceed to take a selfie with Richie, but the captain asks him to keep the phone in a chest because it is in the rules that the kids should not have more modern objects than those in the golden age of piracy. Audrey accepts while disguising herself as a pirate and asks Kid for his hat, he replies that he deposited in advance when he got the job. Richie wants to negotiate to retrieve his cell phone but Kid says no, implying that violators of the ship's code will be sent to hang the numerous extra costumes in the cellar.
The girls and Richie, encouraged by the pirate adventure, hand over the phones. By the way Richie delivers everything electronic that he had, which turn out to be several things. Kid asks the kids to clean the cover, Richie is worried about the lack of technology and Audrey cleans the cover but he happens to wet Kid. Richie also presents the same phoneless problem when Kid taught the kids how to knot rope. Kid later shows the kids the hard cookies the pirates ate, one of which is hit by Todd with a broomstick, which he throws at a jay who replies that it is fine. For her part, Audrey continues to search for a way to be a first officer, but kid ignores her and Richie continues to be concerned about the lack of his phone.
In the next scene, Lotta and some parrots make the music, while Dot and Timy fill in maps. Audrey finds a treasure but it's from Kid's real life belongings. The latter gets a little upset with Audrey, but realizes that stealing is the life of the pirate. Therefore, he appoints her as first officer on the condition that she does not touch his things. Audrey gives the group the order to have fun, Richie wants to save this moment taking a photo so he decides to retrieve the phone by hiding behind a barrel and approaching the chest. However, a known pelican of Kid gives him away, while Kid mocks him saying that he will need the key to open the chest. Richie then, is sent to the wardrobe section in the cellar. Audrey tries to help but her influence as First Officer does not work, so Richie descends to the cellar.
In the place, Tiny and Todd are there because they drank boba tea and refused to remove his cape. In the place, the three boys have fun but Richie wants to get the phone back to make a couple of memes about the situation. Therefore he proposes a mutiny, where both are in agreement. The rest of the kids in the ship have fun dancing the tarantella, however Kid is really dizzy saying in character that is a curse, so he retires to the cabin and Audrey takes command. Richie plans to disguise himself to appear rude and his plan for Chiqui is to distract the pelican, while Todd distracts the rest of the crew. For his part, he wants to retrieve the key but finds Audrey in command.
Audrey, who has always wanted to have a riot for that matter and Richie, begin to duel with wooden swords, scampering around the ship, using the ship's ropes, and they continue their duel with Richie using a hook while laughing and playing in character. He retrieves the key and therefore his electronic devices, but he wants to continue playing pirates with Audrey, after she asked him to. So they make a race of who climbs the fastest mast. Kid for his part recovers, but before he can do anything he notices that his pelican has stolen his wallet while complaining about it. The episode ends with Audrey and Richie colliding with their sword and hook respectively.

Trivia[]
- At 11:09, a peculiar sound can be heard that is used in the series during a surprise or realization context. This sound effect can also be heard in "Now It's Con" and "Can't Harvey Wait"
- There is a certain inconsistency regarding Lucretia's journey to the pirate ship attraction. If the Harvey girls and Richie found out that the ship reached Harvey Street for the anniversary, why did neither of them bother to notify her?, also considering that Richie's sky mansion can reach long distances in a short time (4965 km/h to be exact[1]), why didn't they give her at least a ride back home?
- According to Hank, Dot's pelican is named Pete.
- The music that Lotta makes in Richie and Audrey's duel, seems to reference "The Pirates of the Caribbean"
