The episode opens with a scrolling shot of a row of townhouses and transitions into the Fenton Works basement. Jack, sitting down and wearing a soda hat and a fishing vest, sips his soda, then casts a glowing-white fishing line into the open Ghost Portal.

Danny and Dess come down the stairs and drop their backpacks on the floor as they walks up behind Jack. "Hey, Daddy! What are you doing? Wait is that...", Dess asked her father with a sing song voice before seeing the fishing pole in his hands.

"Dess, keep it down. You'll scare away the ghosts. I'm using the the Fenton Ghost Fisher. I'm fishing for ghosts.", Jack tells his daughter. Jack then stops reeling and stretches out the line a bit.

"Check out this line. Coated with a special high-test ectoplasmal resin that ghosts can't break. Quiet now. Don't wanna spook 'em.", Jack explains to the twins well mostly Danny more then Dess. She seemed to be giving him a look instead and opened her mouth before he recasts the line and sips his soda totally oblivious to her. As just as suddenly, his stomach rumbles.

"Whoa! That soda goes right through you like Sherman through Georgia.", Jack says. "Here! Hang on to this. I'll be right back after I use the Fenton Urinal.", Jack tells Danny, as he hands him the Fenton Ghost Fisher.

Dess sighs as her father goes upstairs, leaving the twins alone in the basement. She mumbles knowing her father couldn't hear her, "It wasn't done yet..."

The fishing line suddenly making Dess attention turn to her brother as it reels out further into the portal and becomes taut. Suddenly, both Dess and Danny's ghost sense goes off. "Oh no.", Danny said to Dess.

Who to no one's surprise had a smile across her face. Danny strains to keep a hold of the Fenton Fisher against the resistance, but the line breaks. A blue ghost dragon emerges from the portal, the line hanging from her mouth.

She roars and the line's broken end smacks Danny and Dess in the face. "Da-?", Danny said, speechless.

"I want to go!", Princess Dorathea yelled out, in anger.

Soon, Danny starts to run away, terrified. Only to realize his sister isn't following and stops mid run. He runs back to grab her arms to try pulling her away as her eyes seemed to glitter whispering out in exactment, "A dragon... Awesome!"

Danny looked at his sister not believing his ears as Dora grabs the two distraction teens in her fists.

"I have to go!", Dora yelled out again. "You'll have to stand in line behind our dad. In the meantime...", Danny says, snapping Dess out of her daze making the girl laugh before both of them go ghost.

Both twins then become blue ghostly mists to escape Dora's fist and reform. Surprised, Dora tries twice to hit Danny and Dess, before breathing green fire at them, all of which they both dodge.

Danny and Dess return, each with a kick, which sends her flying across the room, during which her golden amulet falls off her neck into Danny's open backpack. Upon landing, Dora transforms into a ghost girl.

"Didn't see that coming... Here I though she was a real dragon", Dess commented with disappointment clear in her voice. "All I wanted was to go to the Princess Costume Ball. And my horrid mummy won't let me!", Dora cried.

She then wails, as she flies back through the portal. "If that dragon suit's her idea of a costume, I'm on mummy's side. Phew! Man, that's a relief.", Danny said, as Dess laughed before hitting her brother hard on the back making him stumble and almost fall.

The two changing into their human form again. Just as, their father Jack re-enters the room saying, "I'll tell you what a relief is...Darn, I almost forgot!". He then runs off-screen and flushes the toilet.
