help I think I'm a fish - synopsis heading

Three children, Fly, Stella and Chuck set off on a fishing trip, but get caught up in a thrilling adventure when they accidentally come across a mysterious laboratory deep in a rocky hideaway. They encounter Professor MacKrill who is convinced that soon the world will be under water and is experimenting with a potion that will make it possible for humans to turn into fish.

Mistaking the potion for a delicious drink, the youngest of the children, Stella, is accidentially turned into a fish. The others are forced into a rescue mission to save their little friend - but they only have 48 hours to drink the Professor's antidote - or they will remain fish forever! So begins their underwater adventure.

While on their adventure, the children encounter lots of colourful underwater characters, including the evil fish Joe who accidentally drinks the potion which has the opposite effect on fish who develop both human intelligence and the ability to speak. Along with his side-kick, the dumb shark and the marching crab army, they attempt to aid Joe in building a fish empire and thwart the children's efforts to return to land.
