Introduction/Opening Titles

 * (We fade in on an island and zoom down towards it making out a small port town with merchant shopfronts, warehouses, pubs, and a harbor full of ships and boats. We then cut to the beach where a beagle is seen walking along the beautiful coastline.)
 * Seadog: There’s no denying that many people always dream about living by the beach. I feel like everyone should take the time to look at this scenery, because one day this whole place could vanish forever and never be heard of again. (Looks at the audience) Welcome my friends. You can call me Seadog. It’s nice here isn’t it, it’s always sunny, well not always like that, but it’s always warm, and that’s what makes me proud to call this place home. (Inhale the summer air) Pretty isn’t it? You should have been here at the start of this summer, because things were really exciting, some might say that it’s not much. (Walks among the shore while watching seagulls fly, then looking out as we pan to a ship, then we go back as he digs up something) You got seagulls, ships out in the open… (Pulls out a shell of the hole he dug.) and these majestic seashells! (Reburies the shell) Now apart from that, something extraordinary occurred. Back when I was a pup, my parents would always tell me the story of the Wellerman, and about how a crew he assembled made history. Now something to point out is that there was a pirate captain like you’ve never seen. (Sighs happily) She was my legend. Could it be that some of you have never heard the story of the Wellerman? Come with me and I’ll tell you how it happened. (Runs out of scene, we then cut to a houseboat where he lies down on the deck.) The Wellerman was perhaps a legend in his time. There's also a song about him, which I think was great if you ask me. If you want to join me in singing a bit of the song, feel free to do so! And let's begin! (Begins to sing)
 * There once was a ship that put to sea
 * The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
 * The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
 * Oh blow, my bully boys, blow
 * (The opening credits roll as a score of the film’s songs play before we fade to black.)

Captain Strawberry/The Wellerman's Proposition

 * (We then fade in on Seadog)
 * Seadog: So you want to know about the Wellerman? The story actually started before he even recruited the team. (As he narrates, we fade to a port town, then to the house of a young girl in her secret hideout) In a more northern part of the village lived somebody who was... for lack of a better word, the feistiest girl in town, at least according to the locals.
 * TBA

Captain Strawberry's Plan/Getting the Girls Together

 * Seadog: So Captain Strawberry's first plan of action was to get a ship ready. And the Wellerman happened to find the perfect ship for the job.

Soul Mates/Unexpected Members

 * Seadog: So what was so special about one of the girls? Well that would be Blueberry, determined to be Strawberry's second mate. But I know what it was. It turns out she was very close to a special someone. And well, you couldn't help but find out about this.

The Guardian Brothers/A Pirate's Life For Me

 * (We then fade back to Seadog resting on his porch and currently looking over a flock of seagulls in front of the house.)
 * Seadog: (Notices the camera.) Oh, right. (Sits up and clears his throat) And so the days progress, preparations go according to plan, and soon everything was almost ready. Now if you remember, I said that Captain Cruller's lost treasure was one of two chests. The other one is hidden inside a cave protected by two figures known only as The Guardian Brothers. (We cut to the cave of where the Guardian Brothers are) Nobody knows much about them, and so it almost sounds like the traps have a mind of their own, which they don't.
 * Guardian Blackberry: Are all the traps set in place for anyone who dares to arrive on this island in search of our treasure?
 * Guardian Almond: I'm sure they are. I double checked them early this morning. Everything should be find.
 * Guardian Blackberry: Alright, that sounds excellent. Anyways, I wanted to ease your mind about any rumors you might have heard lately. But I'm sure it's all a joke to get any potential trespassers keeping an eye out for any ships. (Cut back to Seadog)
 * Seadog: Anything could happen. Meanwhile the girls have been enjoying themselves. The journey doesn't start until tomorrow, but what better way to spend the perfect Friday night, then go out for an evening of songs and music just to pass the time away. (We cut to the music tavern where the girls gather, chattering excitedly with each other)
 * Captain Strawberry: Let's get ready mateys! (The girls prepare for their song with a band gathering around them, we cut to the Wellerman at his table)
 * Wellerman: Alright, I'll stay for one song, then I gotta head out and look over the ship to make sure everything's ready. How's that sound?
 * Captain Strawberry: Sounds good! (Turns to the other girls) He's allowing us to perform a song before he heads out! We have a berry great shanty for him! (Begin song - A Pirate's Life For Me)
 * (The song ends with the girls cheering.)
 * Wellerman: (Putting his empty mug aside) Hmm, not bad, but harmonization needs work. See you tomorrow girls. (Leaves the tavern)
 * Third Mate Angel: What does that Wellerman know? We was golden! Let's keep it just they way it be.
 * Captain Strawberry: Because, my fine pirate friends, we sin' the best shanties in town!

The Whale Attack/What Do We Do With a Drunken Sailor

 * TBA
 * Seadog: Somehow the ship managed to make it through the encounter with the whale. One might say that a ship surviving such a thing is something a heavily slushed person would say. (The music of the song Drunken Sailor fades in)

The Storm/Washed Up

 * TBA
 * Seadog: Well, they weren't that far away, but then you can guess something happened... (All of the sudden the calm sea became a very stormy sea with heavy rain, wind, and thunders.)
 * TBA
 * Seadog: (emerges from his hiding spot) Alright. Coast clear. (Later, the pirates find themselves on a coastline with their ship stranded and destroyed.) Believe it or not, the storm had actually disappeared right after their ship had hit the ground, as if its only purpose had been to lead them to the coastline of where they were headed.

The Wellerman Arrives/Heading Home/Finale

 * Seadog: Well after that, the journey was done, (begins singing) and they look their leave to go!
 * Begin Song: The Wellerman
 * There once was a ship that put to sea
 * The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
 * The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
 * Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (He is joined by the seagulls as he runs out to the beach where he was at the start)
 * Soon may the Wellerman come
 * To bring us sugar and tea and rum
 * One day, when the tonguing is done
 * We'll take our leave and go
 * She'd not been two weeks from shore
 * When down on her a right whale bore
 * The captain called all hands and swore
 * He'd take that whale in tow
 * Soon may the Wellerman come
 * To bring us sugar and tea and rum
 * One day, when the tonguing is done
 * We'll take our leave and go
 * The whale's tail came up and caught her
 * All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
 * When she dived down low
 * Soon may the Wellerman come
 * To bring us sugar and tea and rum
 * One day, when the tonguing is done
 * We'll take our leave and go
 * No line was cut, no whale was freed
 * The captain's mind was not of greed
 * And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
 * She took that ship in tow
 * Soon may the Wellerman come
 * To bring us sugar and tea and rum
 * One day, when the tonguing is done
 * We'll take our leave and go
 * For forty days or even more
 * The line went slack then tight once more
 * All boats were lost, there were only four
 * But still that whale did go
 * Soon may the Wellerman come
 * To bring us sugar and tea and rum
 * One day, when the tonguing is done
 * We'll take our leave and go
 * As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
 * The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
 * The Wellerman makes his regular call
 * To encourage the captain, crew and all
 * Soon may the Wellerman come
 * To bring us sugar and tea and rum
 * One day, when the tonguing is done
 * We'll take our leave and go
 * Soon may the Wellerman come
 * To bring us sugar and tea and rum
 * One day, when the tonguing is done
 * We'll take our leave and go
 * (The song comes to a break as we see two familiar ships sailing closer from the sunset. Seadog then begins to head back to his home with the animals who joined him throughout.)
 * Animals: Soon may the Wellerman come
 * To bring us sugar and tea and rum
 * One day, when the tonguing is done
 * We'll take our leave and go
 * Soon may the Wellerman come
 * To bring us sugar and tea and rum
 * One day, when the tonguing is done
 * We'll take our leave and go
 * (The song comes to an end as Seadog arrives at his home as the animals who joined him throughout the song go their separate directions. We fly away from the port, and then the film fades to black.)
