Castaway Water - Part 1

JP Rothbone and his Sniveling Cronies have designed an amazing water filtration system that would allow everyone on Earth to have pure, clean drinking water - at a steep price, of course! In true Rothbone fashion though, JP sets off to pollute ALL the Earth's water so that everyone, everywhere would need to buy his filter.

While searching for JP's secret lair, the Boneheads are shipwrecked on an uncharted desert isle. The castaways realize it is the very island where JP is about to unleash a terrible storm that will rain down pollution over the entire planet's water supply. Pa Fossil tries to give Bonehead the mission details so he can destroy JP's pollution machine before it pollutes all the Earth's drinking water. Unfortunately, Bonehead isn't listening, and is instead daydreaming about his own heroic adventure to stop JP and gain fame and glory.
