Synopsis of The Aquatic Adventures of Johnny Starfish and the Mermaids:
Johnny is a rock star preparing for a big concert when his two dolphin friends tell him that one of the Mermaids (one of his back up dancers) is in great danger, and it will prevent the show from going on. Before Jonny can do anything about it, an Evil Villainess and her two henchmen kidnap the Mermaid!

Johnny and his manager do everything they can to find the missing Mermaid. The Dolphins, the Mayor, his secret police and Julie the newscaster are all searching the underwater world for the Mermaid. Just when the dolphins think they have found the E vil Villainess’ hiding place, she escapes with the Mermaid, leaving her two henchmen to their doom.

How is Johnny going to find his missing Mermaid? Will the show go on? Will the Evil Villainess get a piece of her own medicine? Join us during Spring Break for the exciting conclusion of The Aquatic Adventures of Johnny Starfish and the Mermaids.
