Usagi, Makoto and Minako walk up the steps to the Hikawa Shrine, finding only Chibiusa minding the grounds. When they ask where Rei has gone, she says that Rei has left to a deserted island to train. They convince Chibiusa to tell them where Rei has gone off to.

Rei is practicing on the beach when the others arrive, surprising her. Although she chastises them, complaining that she had come for training, the moon cats pull out a bathing suit from her luggage.

As Makoto fishes, Minako, Usagi, and Ami play volleyball, while Chibiusa and Rei build a sand castle. When Chibiusa looks through a hole in the castle, she spies a long-necked creature in the ocean. Rei asks Chibiusa what she is looking at, but the creature has dissapeared.

The other girls comment that Rei and Chibiusa seem to get along well, but in the next scene, where Chibiusa becomes finicky over fish, the pink-haired girl stomps off in a huff about Rei having criticized her. She takes to the ocean in an inner tube, with Luna P nearby. She soon finds herself far from the beach, and circled by sharks. She falls out of her tube, and catches hold of the creature she saw earlier, a grey plesiosaur.

The others note that Chibiusa is missing and go off to find her. The plesiosaur, being chased by sharks with Chibiusa on board, heads toward an island with a volcano. As the sharks are gaining on them, Chibiusa uses Luna P to help speed the dinosaur along. They enter a cave, where Chibiusa discovers that the young plesiosaur is injured, and uses Luna P to heal it. She names the animal Kirin (Giraffe) due to its long neck.

On the boat, the others are unable to find Chibiusa, despite that they have been searching for hours. Smoke can be seen coming from the island. In the cave, Chibiusa cooks fish caught by Kirin on a hibachi grill. After they fall asleep, Kirin's mother comes and wakes the baby, urging it to go with her, but it refuses.

The volcano on the island erupts and Rei, apparently through the power of her fire ritual training, sees Chibiusa's face in the eruption. The girls transform.

In the meantime, a rockslide from the eruption has trapped the mother dinosaur and her baby in the cave. Chibiusa escapes, finds the Senshi, and requests that they save the plesiosaurs. Sailor Moon uses Moon Princess Halation on the rockslide to free them.

Waking up on the boat later, Chibiusa (not knowing yet that the five girls are in fact the Sailor Senshi) asks what has happened to Kirin. Usagi says that the Senshi saved them. The two dinosaurs appear swimming alongside the boat, Chibiusa waves, and they leave.

The episode ends with Chibiusa telling the girls that she's now willing to eat fish.

Episode trivia

• This was the only episode of the Sailor Moon anime in which no enemy were appeared.

• This episode was never broadcast in English.

• The episode was left out of the "uncut" DVD boxset of the second season which was released by ADV. At first, the reason was given by ADV representatives that "the creator did not like it," however, it was later made clear that ADV had obtained their masters from DiC, who apparently lacked the episode master themselves.

• Like episode 20 of the first season, this episode does not play into the main storyline of the season. It also has a similar structure in the title.

• In the German dub of this episode, the normal "Macht des Mondes, verwandle er/sie/es zurück" (Power of the moon, transform him/her/it back) was changed to "Macht des Mondes, öffne die Höhle" (Power of the moon, open the cave).
