Set in the undersea world, Gamat tells the story of three close friends, Flower Crab, Rock Crab and Starfish, who get lost while exploring the seabed. They meet Gamat who has gone to explore the Plankton Garden without informing his parents. Meanwhile, Octopus is sick as a result of water pollution in his home, the Coral of Doom. He commands his sidekick Jellyfish to find a cure for his illness. Jellyfish tries to kidnap Gamat’s mother, but ends up kidnapping Gamat instead. With the help of Porcupine Fish and Eel, Gamat’s mother sets off to rescue her child from Octopus.
