What is Beastie Bros 3: The Curse of Captain Slugbeard about?

Adopted brothers Dribble the snail and Dash the firefly are heading to Bogbrush-on-Sea to collect seaweed for Cool Nat’s fizzy-drink experiment. But the beach is also said to hide the cursed treasure of Captain Slugbeard. When the Dung Heap Gang begin hunting for the booty, the brothers must dodge bad luck, pirates and plenty of trouble. With Dribble’s bubbling invention—and the help of some unusual seaside creatures—can they solve the mystery and escape the curse?
