In this episode, Porter Ricks gives his two boys a very important job. After all the trouble Bud and Flipper have recently gotten into, Po still trusts his youngest boy and pet to do the right thing. He sends them away without clearly stating that Flipper cannot go. Then when he's caught in the pin of a rare fish, the scientists announces Flipper will have to be opened up so he could get the fish back.
Of course if you take an innocent dolphin, a man who just got fired, two very anxious boys, and throw in good ol' dad, you have a pretty decent scene where the boys figure out a way to save Flipper. I was a bit shocked that Sandy practically threw Bud and the thief together the way he did and left the boat, but still...it was a good action scene.
