Eager to prove himself, he sets out to deliver a package to a mysterious location, which is actually a hidden fortress for the evil Otto Van Walrus (Cleese) who plans to drill beneath the surface and unleash an ancient gas, melting the Arctic and effectively taking over the world. Swifty and his friends must now stop the sinister scheme from taking place…
