To make matters worse, they learn that they have to throw Sue's friend Captain Rugbeard a pirate birthday party! Eddie and Phil rush to decorate, and with little time to spare they wrap up some socks made by Aunt Sue; BUT. . . Captain Rugbeard turns out to have only one foot. Can Eddie and Phil come up with a clever solution, or will they suffer the wrath of an angry pirate?
