Goku and Bulma continue their search, looking for the fourth Dragon Ball. Bulma brings a house out from a Hoi Poi capsule, and they spend the night in there.

The next morning, a lost sea turtle appears before the pair! At the turtle's request, the two set out to carry him to the sea.

Notes:

• The "Eyecatch B" music is used for both eyecatches in this episode.
• U-1 and U-2 are of uncertain authorship. It is possible that they were composed by Kikuchi, but it is also possible that they are taken from stock music.
