Bulma has finally figured out a way to ride with Goku on the Nimbus Cloud, but certainly not because she has a pure heart. The Dragon Radar leads the duo to the ocean. Unable to retrieve the Dragon Ball from the ocean floor, Goku and Bulma head to Kame House to see if Master Roshi can help. Krillin decides to join the search for the Dragon Balls. Meanwhile, Commander Red, the leader of the Red Ribbon Army sends the handsome General Blue after Goku. Blue decides to split his men into two companies. He sends one company to Roshi's Island while he and another company head in a different direction. The search for the Dragon Balls leads Goku and his friends to an old pirate's cave that is full of booby traps and surprises.
Goku, Bulma, and Krillin return to the Kame House for some much needed rest. Blue, still in pursuit of Goku, shows up and rudely interrupts their relaxation. Goku follows Blue on his Nimbus Cloud and ends up crashing into another mountain. On the ground Goku meets some bizarre people from Penguin Village. The fragile Dragon Radar is broken again and his new friends think their village mechanic might be able to fix it. Even if Goku gets the Dragon radar fixed, is it too late for Goku to catch up to General Blue?
