Plot[]
Cubby wishes to learn how to do magic as good as the Remarkable Beardini, who first demonstrates the two most useful magical maneuvers: causing objects to disappear and transforming them into different objects. But Cubby happens to have some trouble, and Beardini reassures him that he needs confidence. However, Cubby makes one of the walls disappear, revealing that Captain Hook and Mr. Smee are attempting to sneak into the Pirate Magician's Lair to steal some of Beardini's magic to help them find treasure. Beardini soon reveals them inside his home and asks Cubby to transport them out of the lair. As Cubby attempts to do so, he accidentally sends Beardini away with Captain Hook and Mr. Smee.
Jake, Izzy, and Skully then arrive, and Cubby tells them what happened. They look into his magical spyglass to find out that Beardini, Captain Hook, and Mr. Smee are at Castle Castaway, which is where objects and pirates go when they disappear, and there is no way in or out. According to the Code of Magical Spells, the only way to magically escape is for Cubby to reverse the vanishing spell, since he cast it. Beardini tells Cubby how he should do so, and Cubby successfully vanishes the crew to Castle Castaway.
Cubby then offers Beardini his wand, but Beardini restates that only Cubby can make them return to Neverland. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee show up, and with everyone gathered, Cubby attempts to make them return to Neverland when Captain Hook shoves Beardini away and into a different part of the castle. Jake and his crew go to find him, as well as Captain Hook and Mr. Smee. They go through a room with staircases on all sides, and Captain Hook thinks he sees an exit. However, he and Mr. Smee end up back where they started.
Meanwhile, Jake and his crew find Beardini trapped in an oil painting. Beardini tells them what they should do to free him, and with confidence, Cubby turns a helmet into a bucket of paint and a torch into a brush. He paints the door on the canvass so Beardini is freed. Meanwhile, Captain Hook and Mr. Smee are trying to smash their way out, and Beardini recaps that only Cubby can get them out with a vanishing spell, and any other attempt will cause the castle to work harder to keep everyone inside. Cubby then apologizes for trapping everyone in the castle, and Jake's crew and Beardini go to find Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, who are still working on escaping.
Although Jake and Beardini warn them, Captain Hook ignores the warning and he and Mr. Smee make another attempt with the battering ram. As a result, a crack forms in the ground, chaining Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and Beardini, and sending them into cannons and leaving them at risk of disappearing forever. So, Izzy uses her Pixie Dust on Jake's crew to go after them. Cubby then successfully turns the cannons into barrels before sending everyone back to the lair.
While Captain Hook and Mr. Smee run, Cubby returns Beardini his wand before Beardini gives Cubby his own piratical magic wand and introduces him as The Awesome Cubby. Jake and his crew then head to Pirate Island to put the gold doubloons they collected into their Team Treasure Chest, including one Cubby found from behind Jake's ear. Back on the Jolly Roger, Captain Hook is in a foul mood from his time in Castle Castaway. Bones then appears, revealing that he polished up the big cannon, but accidentally tips it, sending Captain Hook into the Never Sea.
