In an effort to raise money to pay off creditors of McCoy's Floating Zoo, Sandy and Bud join Bonnie McCoy in a scheme to run away with her father's elephant and chimpanzee to rent the animals to Anderson's Land and Sea Circus.

Judy the chimp steals a briefcase full of money and Sean McCoy of McCoy's Floating Zoo is arrested - so Sandy, Bud, and Bonnie decide to put on a show with Flipper to raise money for her father's bail.

Sentinel of the sea Flipper discovers a sinking raft, manned by Bonnie McCoy, her father, an elephant and a chimpanzee.

Mistaking a Park Service termination notice for the firing of their father, Sandy and Bud determine to find him a new job so they will not have to leave Coral Key.

While cutting across the firing range to reach the Naval base in hopes of finding a job for their father, Bud and Sandy and Flipper became trapped among the targets in the middle of firing exercises.
