The balloon race

Plot Summary
[]

An aquasphere translator on dry land is being used by two human scientists to translate what the porposses are actually saying. Then they hear music coming from down below, and they're confused. Turns out that Snorkland is holding a balloon race featuring all of the snorks. Casey is riding a balloon with Allstar and Occy while Daffney rides with Dimmy and Tooter, and Junior rides in his own custom made balloon with Willie, and Junior has big intentions on winning the whole thing.

Pretty soon, the race begins, and Junior's blocked Allstar and Casey's balloon. Governor Wetworth, who has been riding in his own balloon, loses that balloon and falls back down onto the ground. The porposses play with Govenor's balloon, but it pops. The race still goes on, but Junior's balloon pops, and he and Willie get caught into the current. The snorks save them, but the porposses meet up with them. Meanwhile, the humans see the balloons and try grabbing the snorks, but the porposses pull the net back, which causes them to briefly fly into dry land. The snorks land back down into town safely, and the human scientists have to redo their research after assumming the sound of Tooter's tooting is a porposs talking to them.
