Shortly after her French grandfather dies, Laura's French grandmother, Simone, claims she is having repetitive dreams about an angel named Oleo, who insists that she and Laura must hire a captain to sail them around the world, so they can live happily ever after.

Up pops a very ugly, mean-looking puppet, an old pirate with a dirty red bandana over his long greasy hair. "Thanks for letting Sailor Jack out!" he rasps. Will Jack return them to their uncle? Just how much is a pirate's promise worth?
