About this episode

Meet Meriah Caring, a mermaid who sets out to find a beautiful treasure during the storm of the century. But what happens when you find a treasure and no one else thinks it's beautiful?

Lessons include: the greatest treasures aren't things, they're people; beauty isn't hard to find if you keep an open mind. 

This remastered classic first aired on September 5th, 2017.
