Tom invests his college savings in the only possession he has left, the Fairy Queen , a decrepit ferry he hopes to restore to working condition. Phineas, meanwhile, sends letters to Mary's divorced aunt and uncle, Augustus and Matilda "Tillie" Winterbottom, about the death of Tillie's brother.The two arrive in town and plan to sell the ferry to Phineas and split the profits, but once on board the ferry, they meet Mary and Tom, who believe they are missionaries just returned from Africa. So Gus and Tillie help them fix up the ferry and they soon learn that the only way to keep the ferry franchise is to win a boat race against their competition, Phineas Pratt.
