Mrs. McKraken is the captain's first grade teacher, and she's heard he's been naughty. Captain Coarsebeard hasn't been using good manners, and it's up to her to reteach him everything she taught him in first grade. Will the captain treat others the way he wants to be treated? Will he earn a gold star and be a star student? Soon the captain learns that good manners are as good as gold!
