Tubb is having fun scaring Finbar until Reg unwittingly scares Tubb. Tubb wishes he were a pirate, so he'd never be scared. After encountering Rusty Red and Terrible Terrence, and with a little help from Fearless Finbar, Tubb discovers everyone gets scared sometimes - even pirates!

Terence is tired of being different from the others - he doesn't want to play splishy, splashy, sploshy games and nobody thinks his games are fun. Terence wishes he had someone to play with. When Lawrence suddenly appears, Terence is delighted to have a new best friend. While it appears that Lawrence is better at everything, Terence discovers he has a special talent all his own.

Reg is trying to finish his puzzle but keeps getting interrupted by the Rubbadubbers' noisy games. When the puzzle gets broken in a game of "soap tug", Tubb pleads with Reg to join them. Instead, Reg wishes to be left alone. At first, Reg loves the quiet. He soon discovers that while being alone is nice, sometimes being with your friends is more fun.

The Rubbadubbers are trying out their circus tricks when Benjie and Sis leave cups and blocks on the floor. Sploshy wants to do Winona's tail trick, but without a tail she's finding it difficult. Wishing for a tail, Sploshy is transformed into the Great Sploshola and lives her circus dream...until her tail leaves the circus in deep water.

Tubb wants to make things disappear with the toy wand that Benjie got for his birthday. When he keeps getting interrupted by Sploshy and Finbar, Tubb wishes he could make things disappear. Transported to a magician's land, Tubb can now make everything disappear. But when he makes his friends disappear, will Tubb be able to get them back?

Reg is tired of standing guard for balls that fly out of the bath as the Rubbadubbers are playing an underwater ball game. He can't join in the fun. If he goes in the water his joints will rust. When Reg wishes he could go underwater, he is transported to an underwater kingdom to protect a treasure from a monstrous thief. After encountering the thief, Reg wishes he were back on dry land.
