Plot
Little Juan goes to the beach with The Consuela Tequilla Chiquita Family and everyone has a great time...until when they are caving, Don Fandango strikes oil and it sprays on Maria Consuela Tequilla Chiquita's face, meaning she can't see until Don Fandango takes her to a secret paradise through a crack in one of the rocks, though it has been polluted.

But Little Juan knows who can un-pollute the paradise and save Maria...El Nombre! When he arrives, Mama comes with her prize vegetables, for Little Juan and Maria to eat. When she realizes Maria is not there, she asks El Nombre and Little Juan to find her.

When El Nombre and Little Juan find the polluted paradise, Little Juan sends his pet fish to gobble the algae while El Nombre, knowing a trick about making knock-out custard pies, makes one, knocks out Don Fandango and frees Maria Consuella Tequila Chiquita from the cage.

Back out at the beach, Mama is getting worried as she hasn't seen her child and El Nombre for some time. But they emerge from the sand with a drowsy Maria in El Nombre's palms. El Nombre swings away while Little Juan looks for something to snap Maria out of her drowsiness.
