An Owl and a grumpy cat named Daphne Feline are stranded on the Island of Simplicity, which is swamped by a huge wave every Thursday, while they are out for a balloon trip. Daphne is carried out to sea where she is snatched up by a pirate ship since she refused to take the islanders' warnings seriously. She becomes a captain by being obnoxious and dictatorial but eventually returns to the island where she is given the position of Queen of the Bling Gum people. She makes the mistaken decision to accept this without checking the terms and conditions, which prove to be severe. The infamous pirate Captain Wirewhiskers is convinced by Owl to assist in rescuing Daphne after fending off an effort to franchise his activities, and Owl and Daphne start a nightclub in Rio.
