The 7th entry and the final Barbie film to be originally released on VHS follows on from Barbie: Fairytopia where Barbie's character in the film, Elina, was rewarded for her bravery to battle Laverna with her own new pair of wings. She is unexpectedly thrust into battle with Laverna again, this time through her fungual minnions who had kidnapped the mer-prince Nalu. Laverna gave the leader of the fungi, Fungus Maximus, a vile potion to threaten a pollution to the sea and all aquatic life unless Nalu gives them the secret location of a magical Immunity Berry, which would make whoever eats it immune to all magic regardless of time. Elina and Bibble enter the mermaid cove and overhear a mermaid named Nori call out Nalu.
