Premise
A 12 or 13 year old boy nicknamed Fly wants to go fishing but his parents tell him they’re going out and are having his aunt Anna babysit him and his little sister Stella. Fly’s cousin Chuck who loves computers and science comes with her. When Anna takes a nap, Fly and Stella sneak out to go fishing followed by Chuck and accidentally meet a mad scientist named Professor MacKrill. MacKrill is scared of global warming so he created a potion to turn humans into fish and an antidote. When Stella is thirsty she drinks the potion and turns into a starfish before getting lost in the ocean. Fly drinks the potion and turns into a California flying fish so he can look for her. Then there’s a storm and Chuck doesn’t know how to swim so he drinks the potion and becomes a jellyfish though MacKrill warns him and that if they don’t drink the antidote in the next two days then they’ll stay fish for the rest of their lives.
Plot
A Great White Shark and pilot fish accidentally drink part of the antidote and get human intelligence. So the pilot fish names himself Joe and creates a civilization of talking fish with himself as the leader. After Fly tries to steal the antidote from him, Joe has Fly, Chuck and Stella locked up but they escape. They then find what they need to create the antidote but Joe steals it from them after his shark wounds Fly. Chuck then takes Fly and Stella to McKrill’s pipes to flood his laboratory and take the antidote but Joe follows them and steals it to make himself smarter. Then Fly calls Joe stupid. When Joe tells Fly that he can kill him, Fly tells him that any idiot can do that and asks him a lot of trivia questions about mathematics, special relativity and philosophy. When Joe doesn’t know he drinks the antidote to figure it out and he does it enough that he becomes human and drowns. After Fly, Chuck and Stella get the antidote and become human again, Chuck thinks Fly is dead but it turns out he’s alive but just has a broken leg. Then Chuck learns to swim and Fly starts being interested in computers and in science.
