History
Sam himself had no real life apart from a sentient object which was part of the roundabout itself guarding Zeebad however when Zeebad escaped Sam was launched from the roundabout near where Zeebad had landed. Upon finding Sam Zeebad decided to make him his henchman, which he done so successfully. Sam would then follow Zeebad's every command for finding the three enchanted diamonds. The two managed to gain the first two until after a heated train chase, the train exploded launching the two. Zeebad was fine due to him having a spring for legs and being able to leap great distances without harm but Sam was mortally wounded and a furious Zeebad left him to die. Sam then returned riding on a moose which Zeebad had previously cursed by turning it's fur blue. Zeebad easily froze the moose when it charged towards him and noticed Sam's chest glowing. He then realised that the third diamond was inside Sam the entire time and took it out of him, temporarily killing him. At the end of the movie after Zeebad's defeat Zebedee picked up Sam's corpse and put his diamond back inside him telling him he was going back where he belonged. Sam nodded in agreement before being put back in his original position on the roundabout guarding Zeebad.
