The story

In present-day Scotland, a couple of American tourists meet an old man who, upon request (after seeing the surgeon's photo) tells them about the Loch Ness Monster and why the photo is a fake.

One day, while collecting seashells, Angus discovers a large egg in the tide pool, which hatches a plesiosaur-like creature, which he names 'Crusoe' after Robinson Crusoe.

Meanwhile, Lewis decides Crusoe is so big they have to free him in the loch.
