A lighthearted family adventure about mischievous kids bonding with a sea lion and outwitting their uptight principal through pranks and rule-breaking.

Five 2nd-grade kids who don't follow strict rules by their school principal Brinway are dubbed "Stinkers" by him. On the class visit to an aquarium the Stinkers decide that a sea lion called Slappy doesn't feel too good there, "free" him, and plant him into Brinway's hot-tub.
