Plot summary[]
The spaceport mix-up[]
The episode opens with Kai Brightstar waking up from a nightmare about pirates. Lys Solay and Nubs reassure him that he was just experiencing a nightmare and check if he is alright. Brightstar is relieved but says he had a difficult sleep and needs to rest for the day. Since it is a free day, Solay and Nubs invite Brightstar to accompany them to Kublop Springs spaceport. While sitting on their speeder bikes, the three Jedi younglings watch starships descending into the spaceport including a Zekodoan Cruiser. A fruit drops near Brightstar and splatters.
Brightstar wants to go back to the Tenoo Jedi Temple and rest but Solay insists on finding something to do together. She sees a labor droid called F-4RO in distress and goes to help him. Solay introduces herself and her friends to the droid. F-4RO reluctantly allows them to load a crate onto a hover cart and bring them aboard a starship. However, the younglings accidentally load a crate onto the wrong ship, which promptly takes off from Kublop Springs spaceport. F-4RO panics because the departing ship is heading to the pirate stronghold of Yarrum Tower and he fears the pirates will never give it back.
A reluctant adventure[]
Solay apologizes and promises that she and her friends will bring back the cargo. Nubs backs her up while Brightstar grumbles about wanting to have a quiet day reading his holobook at the temple. However, he agrees to help his friends retrieve the cargo and says that they will contact Nash Durango to arrange a ride on the Crimson Firehawk. The Jedi younglings travel on the Firehawk to Yarrum. Durango and RJ-83 agree to stay aboard while the Jedi younglings travel to the pirate tower in various disguises.
At the entrance, they encounter Hudi, who recognizes Brightstar. Brightstar introduces Solay and Nubs to Hudi, explaining that she is a friend who runs an outpost nearby. Hudi adds that she has a small shop in the tower. When Hudi asks what they are doing here, Brightstar explains that they accidentally sent a crate to Yarrum Tower and ask if she can help. Hudi thinks that if the cargo was dispatched today, it would still be at the landing pad. She warns that the pirates monitor both incoming and outcoming traffic. She warns that the pirates will recognize them in their costumes.
Hudi offers to sneak them into the landing pad inside a rectangular crate. Yarrum tells a Gamorrean guard that she is bringing a delivery. The guard allows her to proceed with the crate into the cargo pad. When Brightstar makes a noise, Hudi tells the guard that she was reacting to the sight of the numerous crates. Hudi distracts the Gamorrean guard by flattering him about his job loading the cargo and gives the younglings the signal to exit their crate. Once the guard has left, the younglings sort through the crates and find the missing crate they were looking for.
Pirate entanglements[]
Before they can leave, they are cornered by the Ganguls Sellaccc Orryak, Toda-Joh and Jooro Jarrot. Jarrot asks if the younglings have come to pay them a visit while Joh quips about their disguises. Brightstar explains that they do not want a fight but that they have come to retrieve a crate that was accidentally sent to Yarrum Tower. Orryak refuses to let them reclaim the crate, saying that the pirates take everything that arrives at the tower. Jarrot and Orryak are curious about the contents of the crate.
Solay and her friends respond that the crate does not belong to them and draw their training lightsabers. However, Joh uses an energy weapon to snatch their lightsabers while Jarrot traps them with a rope gun. Orryak orders "Speeds" and Toda-Joh to unlock the crate. Solay apologizes to her friends for getting them into trouble, and says she wanted them to have fun together. Brightstar says that all he wanted was a "pirate-free day" staying home at the Temple and reading a holobook. Solay apologizes for making Brightstar do something she thought he wanted. Nubs says something encouraging in Poobian.
Reclaiming the crate[]
Brightstar tells his friends that he has plan to get out of this trap but says they need to pay attention. To get out of their rope bindings, Brightstar gets his friends to maneuver towards an axe while Jarrot and Toda-John attempt to pry the crate open with a stick. After freeing themselves, Brightstar gets Solay and Nubs to distract the Ganguls while he contacts Durango for help. Putting their plans into action, Nubs and Solay lead the Ganguls on a chase while Brightstar requests a cargo pickup from Durango and RJ-83.
Following a chase, the pirates corner Solay and Nubs. However, Brightstar throws his friends their lightsabers. Solay does a Force jump and picks up her and Nubs' lightsabers. After Nubs rejoins the trio, Solay hands him his lightsaber. The three Jedi make a stand at front of the crate. The Firehawk arrives and RJ-83 opens the front hatch. RJ-83 uses a grappling cable to pull the crate aboard the Firehawk, which ascends into the sky. After the Jedi push the pirates away with the Force, the Firehawk swoops down low enough to pick up the Jedi younglings.
After the Crimson Firehawk escapes, Orryak vows revenge against the Jedi for coming to her home and taking their "things." Returning to Kublop Springs' spaceport, the Jedi younglings return the crate to a delighted F-4RO, who thanks them. Solay apologizes to the droid for not listening to him earlier and doing what they assumed was the best. F-4RO thanks and says that that he will deliver the cargo. Later, Solay tells Brightstar that she has something that will cheer him up. They spent the rest of the day reading holobooks in Brightstar's bunk bed.
