Synopsis
Mr. Grimes has hired a beach-hut at the seaside, and the Raggy Dolls are camping out underneath it. After an encounter with an excitable, and very wet, dog the Raggy Dolls find a sheltered cove were they meet a mother crab looking for her 'nippers'. ("er- they're on the ends of your arms," said Sad Sack.) When they witness a lifeboat rescue go wrong Hi-Fi uses his headphones to call out the air-sea rescue helicopter. Mr. Grimes is having tea in his hut after failing to get much peace and quiet in his deckchair, and the vibrations of the helicopter passing overhead are the last straw.

Production notes
Since series 7 was thought to be the last of the Raggy Dolls, Orchid Production closed down their animation department and Mark Mason left to set up on his own. But YTV decided to commission one final series to wrap the series up, so Orchid hired Peter Hale to storyboard and supervise the new series.
