Resisting the fruit’s tempting pull, Richie sends them both down the river, where they float into the jaws of hungry hippopotami.

In "Monster From the Sea," Richie and his friends head to a remote island for a beach party after watching a film about a sea monster—only to find their fun turned upside down when Reggie, inspired by the movie, stages a series of clever pranks using a homemade monster to scare them.
