"Arthur wants to play Deep, Dark Sea on the computer every chance he gets. He's hooked! When his mother leaves for work and asks him not to touch the computer, Arthur just can't resist the temptation. Disobedience leads to disaster when Arthur and his friend Buster both go for the mouse at the same time - and the screen goes blank!
