Synopsis
The video begins in Tosha's room, where she is having a sleepover with Min. Tosha's mom is reading them both a story about a mystical place called "Imagination Island", when suddenly they hear the twins crying. Tosha's mom apologizes, but Tosha's dad says he can manage to calm them down. Tosha asks her mom to read some more, but she orders the girls to go to bed.

Tosha asks her mom is she can show Min her new heart-shaped necklace before she goes to bed. Tosha's mom accepts and informs her daughter to take it off before she goes to bed. She lets the girls play for five minutes before bedtime. Tosha has promised to be very careful with her necklace. While the girls have a pillow fight, Tosha accidentally knocks doll Barney, sitting by the window, over. Tosha apologizes, while Min puts him to bed. Tosha decides to read what her mom has left off in the story.

Just when Min reads the part where a storm happens, Barney suddenly comes to life. He says he's been listening to the girls reading the story and is excited by their imagination of tall ships, open seas, and an island adventure. He sings "Just Imagine", with the two girls joining in. When the song is over, the girls once again look into the book, when suddenly a ball of brilliant light pops out from it and zooms into the closet. To their surprise, a stairwell appears. The girls let Barney lead the way.

Once the three of them have made their way to the top, they find themselves on a ship and their clothes have changed to sailor outfits. Barney asks them if they're ready for adventure. Tosha says she has to go back to her room to put her necklace back. The girls go back down the stairwell, but to their surprise discover that it's the inside deck of the ship. They go back out on the main deck. Barney sings the "Sea Medley", as Shawn, Derek, Baby Bop, and BJ appear, joining in for the trip.

Barney claims that apart from being on the ship, he doesn't know what's going to happen next. Min says that when they were reading the story, and they have only gone up to the part where something happened on the ship. Barney points out that nobody is at the steering wheel. Baby Bop runs to the wheel and as she grabs it, she begins to spin out of control. Derek manages to function it properly. BJ decides to go up to the crow's nest and be the lookout.

Suddenly, BJ calls out "Land ho! I see Imagination Island! It's straight ahead!" Everyone looks straight ahead and sees Imagination Island coming for them, when suddenly there's a really big... STORM! Just like in the book. Barney warns everyone not to panic and thinks they're going to be just fine, except for Baby Bop, who hides in a hatch. Tosha says she is not scared. Barney says that since this is a strong ship, there's not one thing they should worry about, when BJ points out that there's a giant wave coming for them. Barney shouts "Hold on, everybody!" as the wave picks up the ship.

When the storm clears, the ship has finally landed on the island... or has it? As everyone looks down, they are surprised to see that they are way above the island. Barney drops the anchor and discovers that they're on lots of trees. As they wonder how they should get down, Baby Bop comes out from the hatch and pulls our her blankey, which has been stuck on a rope ladder. Barney uses it to climb down the ship.

Once everyone is down, Barney changes their clothes to island clothes. Everyone finds some island surroundings, which they can make music on (example, Baby Bop plays coconuts on a tree, BJ plays a tree like a drum and Tosha plays a shell like a horn). Everyone sings "That's What an Island Is" as they play the island objects. As a big finish, Baby Bop makes a big swing on a stick, spinning out of control and hits the anchor, making a loud gong sound.

Tosha asks how they're supposed to get home from here. BJ decides to go back up to the crow's nest and be on the lookout for another ship. Baby Bop decides to stay with BJ, while Barney and the kids will go exploring into the jungle and see if they can find anybody who can help. Barney says they'll be back before dark. He and the kids leave off to explore the jungle as they sing "Jungle Adventure". Meanwhile back on the ship, BJ hears a ship's bell, and thinking it's another ship, although he doesn't see it anywhere. He tells Baby Bop that he heard the bell. However, it turns out that the bell sound is actually coming from Baby Bop, ringing the bell on Barney's ship to fool her brother.

Back in the jungle, Barney and the kids find a strange-looking house. Barney suggests they should find someone in there who can help. Shawn asks if this place has a doorbell. Barney finds a button and as he presses it, a wheel pops up. When Barney turns it, it plays "Pop Goes the Weasel". Just when the song finishes, the door opens and a man appears. Surprised, he asks Barney if he is a dinosaur. Barney accepts, and the man lets the five of them in the house and warns them not to touch everything in here. Barney is satisfied that the place has a lot of toys. The man agrees and says he built them just for himself.

He calls everyone to gather round and says he needs their names for his guest book. He misnames them as "Ferdinand", "Elvira", "Rupert", "Katrinka", and "Rex". Barney says that those are not their names. The man says that nobody ever reads the guest book anyway. The kids and Barney correctly introduce themselves to the man, who then introduces himself as Professor Erasmus Q. Tinkerputt. Min asks the Professor what's he doing here on Imagination Island. As an explanation, Barney tolds before i love to sing "I Love You". Professor Tinkerputt turns on the record and sings about himself ("Tinkerputt's Song") and how he built the toys just for himself.

When the song is over, Barney asks the Professor if he's been a little lonely living in here. Tinkerputt says he doesn't like to share with anyone, which is why he came to the island in his airplane. Tosha decides that everyone should fly home in Tinkerputt's airplane, but the Professor denies, because he says he took his airplane apart and used the pieces to build more toys. Derek tells the Professor that he got to the island on a ship, which got stuck on some tree, much to the Professor's surprise. Barney tells him how it happened.

Meanwhile on the ship, Baby Bop communicates with a parrot by saying "hello" to each other. BJ asks "Hello, hello, hello? Is that all that bird can say?" Baby Bop says he can say lots of things. She then says "goodbye" with the parrot, while BJ says he hopes Barney and the others come back soon.

Back in Tinkerputt's house, after Barney finishes his story, Tinkerputt says he'll help them get it down "or my name isn't George Washington". When Derek points out that his name isn't George Washington, the Professor says he can't help, because he has a problem of his own. His greatest invention - Tinkerputt's Brilliant Balloon Blower - is supposed to make balloons, but it doesn't work. As he turns it on, he points to the part that's supposed to go up and down, while Tosha glances between her necklace and the machine's gear.

The Professor then asks everyone to leave, but Barney points out that he's forgotten one thing. He shows the Professor that Tosha is fixing the problem. She has taken off her necklace and placed the heart-shaped bead on the gear. When the Professor turns it on, the machine works properly. Balloons of every kind pop out. Tinkerputt thanks Tosha for fixing his problem. Barney tells the Professor that sharing is the most important thing to do, and that makes others happy. The Professor suddenly comes up with an idea. He decides to share he toys with everyone.

Tinkerputt then brings out a big invention - Tinkerputt's Marvelous Musical Mechanism, which plays music. With this, everyone sings "If You're Happy and You Know It". This makes the Professor really happy, that he wants to go home with everyone, but Barney points out that the ship is still stuck in the trees. Tinkerputt says he might have an extraordinary, exceptional, fantastically fabulous idea, but he doesn't have one. So, he puts on his thinking cap. While thinking he makes silly noises and walks like a robot, concluding with "A-HA!" He says he has thought of one thing he is absolutely sure of: there is no way to get this ship down from the trees. Everyone groans, while the Professor is smiling. When Barney asks why he is smiling, the Professor exclaims that there is one other way to sail the ship, and allows everyone to wait until they see it.

As dusk approaches, Barney and the gang help each other load the Professor's toys into the ship, while the Professor gathers many giant-sized balloons and flies them up to BJ, who ties them to the masts. Barney asks everyone if they're ready. Tosha cuts loose the anchor and the ship lifts off. Everyone sings a reprise of "Just Imagine".

As the ship sails through the night sky, Derek announces that everyone is almost home. Baby Bop and BJ then turn sleepy. They say goodbye before they disappear. Barney says to the Professor that once everyone has left, the ship will be all his. Tinkerputt agrees, and then returns the necklace to Tosha. She asks the Professor what he's going to use for his balloon machine now. The Professor says he can make another necklace like hers at his new toy workshop. He thanks Tosha for teaching him how to share.

Barney claims that the adventure has come to the end. The kids review everything that happened on their voyage, and Barney says that the best part is coming home to all the people he loves. Everyone sings one last song - "It's Good to Be Home."

When the song is over, Tosha and Min return to Tosha's bedroom, back in their sleepwear. Barney has turned back into doll form, while the stairwell from the closet disappears. Tosha's mom says that five minutes is up and sends the girls to bed. Tosha takes off her necklace as promised and says good night to Min. Tosha thanks Barney for all the fun and puts him back on the windowsill. The girls turns off the lights and get into bed for a good night's sleep. As the video ends, Barney winks at the camera, while outside, the ship sails past the full moon.
