About this episode

Petey the Pirate starts working for Mr. Smith (Michael Brown), a struggling blacksmith with a tiny anvil. When King Customer asks them to fix his crown, their white lies lead to anvil-related mishaps and a new fashion trend.

Lessons include: Exaggeration is often harmless, but little lies can stack up quickly; repairing and reusing possessions keeps them from becoming forever trash!
