Biography

At first, Sam had no real-life apart from a sentient object which was part of the roundabout itself guarding Zeebad. However, when Zeebad escaped after Dougal accidentally crashed a candy cart into the roundabout, Sam was launched near where Zeebad had landed. Upon finding Sam, Zeebad decided to make him his minion, which he does so successfully. From now on, Sam, under Zeebad's command, would then follow his master for finding the three enchanted diamonds. The two managed to get the first two until later after a heated train chase, the train exploded which launched the two. Zeebad was fine due to him having been in a safer area on the train, but Sam was mortally wounded which prompts Zeebad to leave him to die.

However, Sam, having had a change of heart as he suddenly remembered his original life, returned riding on an elk which Zeebad had previously cursed earlier by turning its fur blue. Sam then confronted Zeebad as he tells him everything that included Sam being on the roundabout and the one guarding Zeebad. Zeebad easily froze the elk when it charged towards him, launching Sam towards him. Zeebad then struck him with an ice blast, but he then noticed Sam's chest glowing.

He then realised that the third diamond was inside Sam the entire time and took it out of Sam, killing him. At the end after Zeebad's defeat, Zebedee picked up Sam's lifeless body and brings him back to life by putting his diamond back inside him, telling Sam that he is going back where he belonged. Sam nodded in agreement before being put back in his original position on the roundabout guarding Zeebad.
