  Jack and Emma Isaac are friends of Carson who bought the Sugar Moon Plantation in the Caribbean and fixed it up. Nancy heads down with Bess and Ned to be their first visitors. Not long after getting there, a man dressed as a pirate pops up. The parrot on his shoulder warns them of the full moon in two nights before the man laughs and they wander away. Jack explains that it's Old Ironbones, a fisherman who had an accident and kind of lost his mind. He now wanders around the island, teaching his parrots new phrases and feeding stray animals. While Jack doesn't like him, Emma keeps defending him. They also learn that the couple bought the plantation from the former owner's estate and met with Duncan, the owner of a local antique shop. Duncan estimated the value of some of the things they wanted to sell and seemed especially interested in silverware with the old owners initials. Emma locked them away. They head into town to rent snorkeling equipment and meet Pierre, a Fre...

  Nancy is less than enthused about a recent mystery involving her father. Carson is working on a case about a glowing eye and initially asked for her help but then turned to Marty, a new and pretty associate working for the firm. Nancy calls her friends and asks for help. Not long after they get there, a helicopter comes out of nowhere and lands on the front lawn. By the time they get outside, no one is there. They do find a note inside from Ned that warns Nancy about the cyclops. The cops and neighbors then show up along with Carson. They realize that it was a robot copter, as in one controlled by someone else with no pilot.

They then get heavy ropes and tie down the copter, but it somehow still gets away the next morning. Nancy and her friends decide to go to Emerson and look for Ned. They run into Carson and Marty at a restaurant on the way....

When the group heads over to Sport Mania, the store sponsoring the event, they get to meet Mr. Lorenzo, the owner. He freaks out at some dude following CJ around with a camera until CJ reveals that the guy works for Sports World and is doing a story on him. That's another reason why Dennis doesn't like him. He was the big man on campus the year before but then hurt his shoulder and lost his status. Mr. Lorenzo a...

Carson asks Nancy to help his client Pierre. Pierre is, as you probably guessed, French, and recently closed down his family home in France.
