The story revolves around a young girl named Trot and her companion, Cap’n Bill, as they embark on an adventurous journey into the enchanting underwater world inhabited by mermaids and other magical sea creatures. Their experiences lead them to explore themes of curiosity, friendship, and the wonder of nature in a vividly imaginative setting. At the start of the tale, Trot and Cap’n Bill engage in a whimsical conversation about mermaids while watching the ocean waves.

Their adventure commences when, after expressing her desire to see a mermaid, Trot is magically transported to the underwater realm, where she meets friendly mermaids who offer to show her their kingdom. This opening sets the stage for a captivating exploration of the ocean's wonders, establishing Trot as a brave and curious protagonist eager to learn about the fairy-tale world beneath the waves.
