The footage of The Wiggly Mascots from the intro of Toot Toot! is re-used for the opening of this video.
Murray is only seen in footage re-used from Series 2, while a stand-in fills in for him while on the dock fishing (he wears a hat and is only seen from behind at a distance) for unknown reasons. It's also the last time we see him with bangs until Cold Spaghetti Western.

The video uses footage from the early GMTV versions of TV Series 2. Three scenes also have an echo effect added to the sound of them.
The book Greg is reading is the book used in Dorothy the Dinosaur Goes to Hospital.

(His eye winking staring the camera before he's looking everywhere) No Wags over here. No Wags over there. No Wags up there, either. Hmm, no Wags... (He looks down then he saw his pirate boots cause that was silly until he's laughing) Wha! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ah! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Oh, it was just my shoe. (laughing) Oh, never.... Wags! Ahoy there, Wags!

(He's holding stick to teach Wags a lesson) Wags... stick!

Wags: Woof, woof!

Captain Feathersword: Now, me throw... you fetch!

Wags: Woof, woof! Woof, woof! (He's grabbing a stick to teach a fetching lesson) Woof, woof! Woof, woof!

Captain Feathersword: (Wags gives him a stick back until laughing) Wags! You understand! Well, blow me down! (Wags blows Captain Feathersword down) Ahhh! Oh, I've got to stop saying that. Oh! OK now, Wags. I’m going to throw the stick. You understand?

Wags: (He barks in front of him)

Captain Feathersword: Hoo-hoo! And you’re going to fetch it.

Wags: (He woofs in front of him)

Captain Feathersword: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! OK Wags. Here we go. Ready? (He tries to throw the magic stick while he lands on the ground. Then the Waggette giggles) OK, Wags. Fetch the stick! (Wags really barks at the stick) Huh? (He gets a whistle at him) Oooh! (He throws the stick back to Wags while he barks) Wha… wha…? Wow! Wh… wh…Wha…?

Wags: He still thinks the stick is magic! (He laughs at the Captain. And then Wags leaves)

Captain Feathersword: Oh...oooh! A magic stick! Hoo-hoo-hoo! Well, blow me down! Hoo-hoo! (He looks around nowhere while he's trying to blow me down. He laughs) Wow! Oh, there's no one here to blow me down. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Well, I'll blow myself down.

Anthony: You have?

Captain Feathersword: Hoo-hoo! Ahoy there, Dorothy.

Dorothy: Ahoy there! (She giggles) I mean, hello there, Captain Feathersword.

Captain Feathersword: I hope you don’t mind that I asked everyone here, Dorothy.

Dorothy: Of course I don’t mind, Captain. I love visitors!

Captain Feathersword: Hoo-hoo!

Dorothy: Are we going to have a party?

Captain Feathersword: Oh no – I’m going to do a magic trick!

Dorothy: A magic trick! Oh! (She giggles) How exciting!

Greg: Oh, yes. Very exciting indeed. After all, I am a magician, you know. (He laughs)

Anthony: Uh, me too! Ha ha! Watch this! Uh, ball disappear... (It doesn't work while he's not doing it anymore) Oh. Almost.

Greg: Well, just keep practicing, Anthony.

Captain Feathersword: This be a little more magical than making a ball disappear.

Murray and Greg: More magical?

Anthony: What are you going to do? Disappear? (He laughs)

Captain Feathersword: No!

Jeff: Uh, fly

Captain Feathersword: No!

Jeff: Turn your feathersword into a rabbit?

Captain Feathersword: No!

Greg: Oh I know – you’re going to turn that stick into an umbrella!

Captain Feathersword: Hoo-hoo! No, but you're close, Greg. It has to do with the stick. You see this stick me magical!

Wiggles: It be? Uh, we mean it is?

Captain Feathersword: Oh, yes -- this stick fetches itself! (They all gasp and mutter) Oh, you don't believe me? Well, I'll show you! (He walks behind the group) Oh, stand back, now. (He waves the stick around while he throws it on the ground) Now, watch this! (He whistles while the stick gets it back) Here, stick! Stick, here! Here, stick, me hearty! Stick... uh... Ohhh.

Greg: Never mind, Captain Feathersword. Sometimes a magic trick just doesn't work the first time.

Anthony: You need to practice, practice, practice!

Captain Feathersword: But, it fetched itself for Wags! (He barks while he gets the stick back) Maybe... maybe it's broken. (The Waggette runs around to get it back. Wags woofs before he gets it) Oh... well, you can have a try, Wags, me hearty, but... I don't think there be any more magic in it. (Wags waves the stick around to give it back to the Waggette. He whistles while he gets it back.)

Anthony: Wow!

Captain Feathersword: Wow! (They all applaud for the magic) Oh! Well, blow...! (They all inhale) Ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho-ho! Oh, you threw this stick there, and then that little scallywaggette threw it back to you! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Ha ha, Wags, me hearty! Hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh! It wasn't a magic trick at all!

Greg: Oh, no -- but this is, Captain. Abracadabra zippety-zoo… (The ball disappears)

Anthony: Wow! (They all applaud for the magic tricks) And this is, too! Abracadabra zippety-zoo… Oh! (He laughs while the ball falls down on the ground. Wags laughs at him and he barks to get the ball back while he is giving it to him)

Captain Feathersword: He fetched! Wags fetched! (They all laugh and applaud) Wow!

Anthony: Now, that is magic!

(They all applaud while he is giving it all back, cut back to the beach)

Greg: But in the end, Captain Feathersword decided it would be better if he taught Wags...

Greg, Anthony & Jeff: not to fetch!

(The S.S Feathersword life preserver transition to Captain Feathersword asks the pirate crew while he's teaching Wags how to fetch.)

Captain Feathersword: Oh, but he's never fetched before. Do you really think it will work, me hearties?

Charlie: Yes, Captain Feathersword. We're sure it will.

Rudolf: We've been thinking about it all day long.

Ben: Aye, all day long we've been thinking. I've been thinking so hard, I can't unscrunch my face! (He shakes his face.)

Captain Feathersword: Oh! I'll give it a go then, by golly. (He chuckles.) Shh! (Wags laughs on the blanket.) Oh, shh, shh, shh! Ahoy there, Wags, me hearty.

Wags: Ruff!

Captain Feathersword: Wags, do you see this stick? (He barks agreeably.) Well, I'm going to throw it!

Wags: (He gets up, while he fetches.) Ruff! Ruff!

Captain Feathersword: But, you're not to fetch, understand? (He growls confusedly.) That's right. I'm going to throw the stick, but you're not to fetch. If you try to fetch, I'll be very cross.

Wags: (He thinks.) I think the Captain is trying to trick me. Is he?

Captain Feathersword: Now, I'm throwing the stick. (He waves around the stick.)

Wags: (He thinks.) I'm sure he's trying to trick me.

Captain Feathersword: Here we go. (He throws the stick on the ground.) No, stop! No, don't fetch. Leave the stick. Don't fetch it! Don't!

Wags: (He giggles, while he gets picks up a stick.) Ruff! (He barks.)

Captain Feathersword: He fetched it!

Crew: He fetched! (He laughs at the stick with Captain Feathersword.) Wags finally fetched! (They all laugh at Wags.)

Wags: Ruff! (They all laugh. He barks angry by snatching the stick away, while thinks.) They've tricked me! (He barks away, while thinks.) OK. They want me to fetch, I'll fetch! (He runs away from Captain Feathersword and the crew.)

Captain Feathersword: Stop fetching! Stop fetching!

Captain Feathersword: Hoo-hoo! Bye-bye! Whoa-ho! Now, babysitting is definitely easier than pirate work. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Now, let's see. Um, maybe I should tell you all a story. (They find my feathersword while they are holding it) Oh, no! The Waggettes! They've gone! I'm supposed to be looking after them! (He frets and whimpers while they are looking for it. Then they giggle) Hoo-hoo-hoo! Ooh, the little scamps want to play, do they? Hoo-hoo! Ooh. I'm going to find you! Shh! (They all bark) Now, where could they be.

I put some on Wags a little while ago and now all his fleas have shrunk away to nothing. Hoo-hoo-hoo! It's great! Ho-ho! Oh. (He is calling out for Wags.) Wags? Wags me hearty! Wags?
