"The Old Shell Game" is the second segment of the first episode of Jake and the Never Land Pirates. It premiered on February 14, 2011 alongside the pilot episode "Hide the Hideout!"
Plot[]
Jake and his crew are playing catch with a coconut when Izzy finds a pink polka-dotted shell and decides to put it on display in her shell collection. Captain Hook sees Izzy's shell and keeps it for himself to put in it to his collection. So, Jake, Cubby, Skully, and Izzy get aboard Bucky and go after Captain Hook to get Izzy's seashell back. On the Jolly Roger, Captain Hook sets the seashell on his treasure shelf. Jake decides for his crew to ask Captain Hook nicely to return the shell, but since he can't be heard, Cubby rolls his map into a tube so Captain Hook can hear Jake and they earned three gold doubloons. However, he refuses to return the shell, but Mr. Smee notices that it is gone, and it is now floating on a log in the Never Sea.
Jake and his crew then follow it, as well as Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, to Run Aground Rocks. Mr. Smee then steers the Jolly Roger around the rocks, and Bucky stops just in time. Jake and his crew then take a dinghy, which is small enough to fit through the rocks. They see Captain Hook and Mr. Smee also after the shell, so they paddle faster so they can go past them, earning three more gold doubloons. Jake and Captain Hook soon see the sea shell missing again, and Cubby spots it on top of a ledge. Captain Hook tries to get it with his fishing rod-hook, but misses and gets himself stuck there. Skully then gets the shell, which Captain Hook steals again.
As he is about to put it on his shelf, the shell pinches his finger, and it vanishes again. Jake and his crew decide to find where it went, and they find a lot of sea shells in front of them. So, they sort the shells so they can find Izzy's and they managed to find it, earning three more gold doubloons. Captain Hook takes it again, so Izzy uses her Pixie Dust to take it back. Captain Hook trips on the shells, and Mr. Smee trips on him, causing the shelf Mr. Smee is holding to fall and its shells to scatter all over the sand. Mr. Smee is told to find the original shells while Sharky and Bones sing about Captain Hook never going to find his shells due to his anger at Mr. Smee.
Later, Izzy notices that the sea shell is revealed to be a hermit crab, whose shell is his home. Jake and his crew then take him back to Pirate Island, where Izzy allows him to keep his shell. They then put the gold doubloons they collected into their Team Treasure Chest. Meanwhile, Captain Hook and Mr. Smee still have no luck finding the shells originally on the shelf.
