Plot[]
At the beach, there is a ship with Corporal Pig and the Minion Pigs. They plan to steal The Eggs one by one with the use of a plunger gun, where Jay, Jake, and Jim were watching them while doing their things. The pigs prepare and start to fire the plunger, but it doesn't attach to the eggs. When the Minion Pig reels the plunger back in, nothing comes up.
Mad that the Minion Pig could not aim properly, Corporal Pig takes the plunger and fires it away, this time almost landing on the target. However, the Blues were prepared and this time, one of them moves the nest out on time. Now catching onto what was happening, the Blues decide to play a prank. They attach an orange rock and tug it on the rope. Happy he got an egg, Corporal Pig reels it back fast but flung the rock right into his mouth, much to the delight of the Minions. Corporal Pig fires off the plunger again allowing the Blues to play pranks on him by attaching random objects onto the plunger. The items included a log, a chair, a lamp, a damaged washing machine, a bike, a broken car, a violin, and a ming vase.
Eventually, after throwing the vase to the back, he hears it shatter. Turning around, Corporal Pig sees that he has failed many times and that the two Minion Pigs were using whatever he collected for their own fun. Corporal Pig, deciding enough was enough, takes out a gigantic plunger. He fires it but it flies right over the eggs. The Blues, who are now bored with there new game, barely notice.
Once he gets what he thought was an egg, Corporal Pig decides to reel it in. The Blues are then surprised to see what he stuck. Meanwhile, Corporal Pig tries reeling the "egg" in but the reel machine breaks, so he uses the boat. As he drives the boat to pull out the "egg", he turns to see in horror that he actually caught Terence, much to his shock and horror. The big bird then smashes through the dock, taking the Minion Pigs with him and causing the boat to sink.
Reaching the boat's bow, Corporal Pig tries to inflate his pool floatie but it appears that it's too late, as Terence floats back up with his helmet.
In the credits, however, it is revealed that Corporal Pig managed to survive in time.
