Captain K'nuckles becomes unhappy with his own body image, and his problem is compounded when a more beautiful, more rugged adventurer appears and begins to allure Flapjack away from Captain K'nuckles. Captain K'nuckles has grown tired of Bubbie ending her imaginary tales with a happy end to them, so Captain K'nuckles decides to take Flapjack on a trip to find a story with an unhappy end. When that fails, Captain K'nuckles decides to come up with an unhappy ending story by himself. But Captain K'nuckles may find out that he's biting off more than he can chew.
