Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, the storm has passed and Moko's raft is approaching a new shore. He has never seen this white sand beach and wonders where he might be. Moko wanders off to find inhabitants of this new place. Along his route he passes plants with enormous leaves and at the other end of his path, the beach once again! How is this possible? What is the secret of this strange islandy? Night falls and Moko falls asleep convinced that he is the first traveler to discover the ocean's secret island.
