When a mysterious girl steal the What-Is-It, Thatcher catches up with her and confronts her about her theft. When she tells him that she is the princess of Atlantis and is cursed to stay in the water all winter and run the stands along the boardwalk during the summer, Thatcher decides to help her, but ends up wrapped up in the curse himself! Can Thatcher and the princess save themselves and Atlantis before it’s too late? What really is the What-Is-It?
