'the story line?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'wild ocean sir?' is the wordplay.

'ocean'+'sir'='oceansir'
'oceansir' with letters rearranged gives 'SCENARIO'.

'that's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scenario that I've seen before include "Summary of plot of play" , "Film/novel plot outline" , "Master plan" , "Written outline of a film or play" , "Film plot outline" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
