In New England in the early 1900s, orphan Pete flees his abusive foster family with the unseen help of an invisible force he calls Elliott. Crustacean the crab and a host of other crustaceans follow them in an attempt to capture and consume Pete ("Candle on the Water"). The townspeople are enchanted by this new creature, with it's ability to turn invisible, but clumsiness leads to town legend labeling it a curse ("I Saw a Dragon"). Itinerant quack Dr. Terminus convinces Hoagy to exploit the invisible creature for his various medicines and tonics, while petty lighthouse keeper Nora welcomes Elliott into the town ("There's Room for Everyone"). The Gogans arrive in a small boat, demanding that they be returned. Fortunately, Elliott sinks the boat and frees Pete ("Bill of Sale").
