Laura tricks Jules, their brother by giving him a four-leaf clover in a key chain, and thereby gives him the "sight." They meet the mermaids, but they don't care about the giants. They take Jules for themselves and tell them to find a fish not seen in their waters and they will give him back and sing. Jules' girlfriend who is with them, her father has an aquarium and they go to his home and steal a fish. The mermaids give Jules back, but only sing for a few minutes. However Nick captured it on tape and can put it on a loop. He attaches it to his model boat, and they drive through the country side getting the giants to follow them. Nick launches the boat in the ocean, and mission accomplished, or is. They learn at the end that there are things worse than giants that the giants were suppose to control.
