Her summer season plans seem doomed up until a getaway invitation comes from multi-billionaire business person Dr Carver, who declares to have a connection to Oscar Proud, Penny's father. The Proud family winds up vacationing on Dr Carver's island, blissfully uninformed of his real intents.

Encounter with Dr Carver and Cashews
Dr Carver turns out to be a cloned version of a guy trapped inside a peanut shell. His grand plan includes obtaining Oscar's secret Proud Snack formula to produce superhuman clones. Remarkably, Carver's lab-made minions are mutant, humanoid animals made from cashews, as that's the only available component to him.

Difficulty in Paradise
The household quickly recognizes Dr Carver's evil plans. The supposedly peaceful getaway becomes a rescue mission when Dr Carver abducts Oscar to acquire his formula. It emerges that Carver's genuine identity is a clinical genius named Wally, who was presumed dead after the unintentional surge of his demo's growth potion. The potion triggered Wally's body to shrink, confining him inside a peanut shell needing existence on a life-supporting liquid made from Proud Snacks.
