Flipper and Finnegan - The True Story of How Tiny Jumpers Saved Little Penguins takes you to a beautiful island paradise. Every morning, Flipper and Finnegan hunt for fish in the clear blue ocean waters. Every evening, they waddle up the beach together with all their friends — it's a penguin parade.

But one day, when Flipper comes up for air, she gets covered in something black, smelly, and sticky — and Finnegan is nowhere to be seen...
