We begin with a passenger ship getting caught up in a rain storm until the ship sinks. In the aftermath, we see Betty Boop, Bimbo and Koko the Clown stranded on a makeshift raft in the middle of the ocean. The three of them spot a ship in the distance that takes them aboard, but unfortunately for them, it's a {{Pirate}} ship, starting a whole new set of problems.
