"The Elephant Surprise!" is the first segment of the fifteenth episode of Jake and the Never Land Pirates. It premiered on April 4, 2011 alongside "Jake's Jungle Groove".
Plot[]
While Jake and his crew are playing volleyball, Cubby discovers a large wooden elephant. Izzy reads the note attached, stating that the wooden elephant is a gift for Jake and his crew, and it is best if they keep it in their Treasure Room. Jake wonders who sent them the gift, and decides for his crew to put it in the Treasure Room. Unbeknownst to them, Captain Hook and Mr. Smee are hiding inside and plan to take the treasure once Jake and his crew leave.
Jake and his crew then put the wooden elephant in the Treasure Room before heading to Bucky for lunch. Once Captain Hook and Mr. Smee then exit the elephant, Mr. Smee fills it up with treasure. However, he bumps the wooden elephant, causing it to roll away. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee are able to stop it when they hear Jake and his crew coming. So, Captain Hook and Mr. Smee head inside the wooden elephant and roll away with it to the OtherSide Slide. Jake and his crew see that and go to get the wooden elephant back.
The wooden elephant then rolls to Buccaneer's Revenge, which is the steepest and twistiest path. Jake decides for his crew to put a log on the path so that the wooden elephant rolls away from the boulders. It works, and later, Captain Hook and Mr. Smee realize the wooden elephant has stopped. Jake and his crew see the wooden elephant stuck in Stuck Muck Pond. So, Izzy uses her Pixie Dust to free the wooden elephant before Jake and his crew return it to the hideout.
Captain Hook and Mr. Smee are complaining over how cramped it is inside the wooden elephant, which Jake and his crew overhear. Skully then opens the hatch to reveal Captain Hook and Mr. Smee were in the wooden elephant the whole time. Jake and his crew know they were trying to steal the treasure, and Captain Hook admits it and decides to keep the treasure and the elephant. However, Jake chases Captain Hook around the elephant and surprises him from the top. Jake, Izzy, and Cubby then tell Captain Hook that he can't take their treasure or the elephant, as it was a gift, which can't be taken back. When Captain Hook refuses to move, a geyser sends him and Mr. Smee to the Jolly Roger.
Jake and his crew then return the wooden elephant and their treasure to the Treasure Room before putting the gold doubloons they collected into their Team Treasure Chest. Back on the Jolly Roger, Captain Hook sadly vows to never ride in a wooden elephant again. Mr. Smee tells him that he, Sharky, and Bones made a gift for him: a wooden crocodile. As Sharky and Bones get it moving, they trip on a rope, causing the wooden crocodile to roll until Captain Hook gets stuck in it, and Mr. Smee goes to free him.
