The last reported sighting of this mad machinist was off the southern coast of the Isle of Wrath, a small island uncomfortably situated in the middle of the perilous Welsh Triangle.
― Sly Cooper, from the episode's intro[src]
"Tide of Terror" is the first episode of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, set in the Isle of Wrath in the Welsh Triangle. The gang set out to track down the first member of the Fiendish Five, Sir Raleigh the frog.
Synopsis[]
Introduction[]
Raleigh has no interest in the dish being served to him.
The road trip gives Sly Cooper the opportunity to study up on Raleigh. The hot-tempered frog once lived a life of luxury and privilege, which he soon grew tired of. Raleigh then tried his hand at a bit of piracy, which he found to be his calling. He was recruited by the Fiendish Five as their chief machinist, and his evil tinkering rose to new heights. He built himself a storm machine that would cause perpetual bad weather and shipwrecks, allowing him to plunder the wrecks for loot. Raleigh's last known sightings are off the Isle of Wrath's southern coast, a small island uncomfortably situated in the perilous Welsh Triangle.

Ending[]
After Raleigh's defeat, Sly reclaims the Thievius Raccoonus pages the frog stole. These pages provide detailed instructions on how to perform the Ninja Spire Jump, a technique Sly's ninja ancestor Rioichi Cooper developed while sneaking into Feudal Japan's thickly fortified castles.
Carmelita brings the frog into custody.
Due to the untimely arrival of Carmelita Fox, Sly has difficulty escaping Raleigh's ship. However, Carmelita fails to find Sly, but she places Raleigh and his crew under arrest. With the storm machine out of commission, boats returned to the ocean and the mystery of the Welsh Triangle fades from memory. The gang then takes a vacation in England, enjoying the pleasant weather. They soon return home to prepare for their next trip.
