Plot

Ernie Eaglebeak, a young boy, resides with his oppressive stepfather Joey Rottenwood, who confines him to the attic. Ernie holds affection for his neighbor Lola Tigerbelly, a young woman who is clearly beyond his reach. However, Ernie's fortunes change when he is admitted as a freshman to the esteemed Sorcerer University, a renowned magical institution. Initially enthralled by college life and encountering a few attractive women, Ernie's journey takes a different course when the invaluable Sorcerer's Appliance is stolen. Consequently, Ernie is entrusted with a perilous quest to reclaim this potent artifact. Armed with his spellbook and a magical surfboard, Ernie embarks on a venture across the vast Fizzbuttle Ocean, visiting diverse islands in search of vital clues.
