Plot

The boys are at Sea Park in Denver where they are watching the antics of Jambu (a parody of shamu), an orca or “killer whale”. While the other boys go elsewhere, Kyle wants to study the whale in more detail; while getting a closer look at Jambu, Kyle is surprised to hear the whale speak. Jambu’s voice is actually being provided by one of the hosts of the whale show, Brian. He and his partner, Mike, are bored and taking great delight in playing a practical joke. "Jambu" tells Kyle about his dream to one day go to space in a big rocket ship. Kyle runs off to find the other boys. He brings them back to the tank, but for now Jambu remains silent. The bored hosts realize that their audience has returned, and claim that Jambu, whose real name is 'Willzyx' (pronounced "Weel-zee-ack") is from the moon, and if he doesn’t get back there soon to be with his wife and family, he will die. That’s enough for the boys; when they get back home they rally the other boys to help them liberate Jambu. They put together a plan that involves the pool from Clyde’s backyard, Timmy’s wheelchair, the Russian government and all of their skateboards. The boys sneak into Sea Park and manage to free Jambu. The next morning at the Sea Park, Mike and Brian start panicking when they realize that the boys from South Park are responsible for the whale-napping.

In Russia, the government is looking for a way to raise money and they take a call from Kyle who wants to hire them to take Willzyx to the moon. When they give their price of $20 million, Kyle tries to explain what they are really trying to do. The Russians interpret his explanation as a prank call from George Bush. The boys decide to shop around for a third world country with a cheaper space program and they need to hide the whale. Since everyone is on the lookout for the whale, if it remains outside, eventually someone will see it. At the Sea Park in Denver, protesters from the ALF (Animal Liberation Front) have gathered to applaud the whale liberators. Brian and Mike are in South Park looking for the whale, they find the pool behind Clyde’s house, along with a broken fence. While looking at the pool, they find whale feces, but see that the whale and the boys are gone. The whale is inside, in Kyle’s bedroom to be exact, where the boys are keeping him wet. Kyle is the on the phone to Japan while Jimmy, Timmy and Tweek are at the Chinese Embassy, but everyone’s price is too high. Stan and Craig are in Mexico, where they find that MASA (Mexican Aeronáutica y Spacia Administración) will take their whale to the moon for $200. Brian and Mike find out that the boys are going to Tijuana. George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) is the 43rd and current President of the United States, inaugurated on January 20, 2001. ...

The boys are on the road to Tijuana when their truck is stopped by Brian and Mike. The hosts are about ready to tell the boys the truth, when the police arrive, but the ALF comes to their rescue as the whale is saved in a hail of gunfire. Mike and one of the police officers are killed by the ALF during the firefight. The ALF leader drives the van for the boys as they resume their trip to Tijuana. In Tijuana, the rocket is being prepared. The ALF leader and the boys crash through the Mexican border, and the boys work on getting the whale into the water. They get the whale into the water and the ALF is declaring victory when, to their surprise, the manager of Sea Park and everyone else present watch the Mexican rocket get launched into space, with a whale in tow. The boys celebrate their victory back home; meanwhile, on the moon, the asphyxiated whale lies dead. The end credits roll over this shot in silence.

Trivia

Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny drawn photorealistically.

• For the first time, very realistic drawings of the kids were shown, portrayed as a police artist sketch. Nico Agnone, a relative of one of the animation crew members and former voice of Ike Broflovski and the kindergarten students, was the model for Stan and Kyle according to the South Park Studios FAQ. The image was drawn by Storyboard/Production Artist Supervisor Adrien Beard and Storyboard/Production Artist Valerie Fletcher.
• Sugiyama — the name Stan uses for the Japanese person he is talking to — is a reference to Emma Sugiyama, Trey Parker's wife, who was his fiancee at the time.
• When Clyde asks if Mexico has a space program, there is a picture of Kyle with his elephant, seen in the season 1 episode "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig".
• Originally, when the trucker was pulled over by the police, he yells "You told me you won that whale at Chuck E. Cheese!" However, on the South Park Season 9 DVD, the line is replaced with "You told me you won that whale at Pizza Hut!".
• On this episode's commentary, this episode (in a reverse of the episode Marjorine) was cited as a good example of a simple idea that focused on the one main plot, and did not turn into several other subplots. The main idea that fueled this episode was seeing a dead whale on the moon.
• While the rest of the boys are disguised in blackface while freeing the whale, Token appears in white face paint.
