Robin and Captain Cross Beard have only just liberated Castleshire from the claws of a pirate gang when they find themselves in a new adventure. Trails of venom – a toxic goo that harms everything it touches – start floating up in the sea. The source of the poison turns out to be the Kraken, a giant octopus. Robin and her friends go on a hunt for the sea monster. But their quest is not without problems, and the only person ever to have seen the Kraken refuses to speak to them. To make matters worse, Robin discovers a huge secret…
