They crash-land on a strange planet where Venusian guards capture them and reveal plans to attack Earth with an H-bomb within twenty minutes, stating that Don and Red are now prisoners facing certain death. Don manages to disconnect his interpreter and signal Red, allowing them to devise an escape plan from the alien palace dungeons, while the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as the countdown to destruction begins.
Tugboat Tucker and his friend Salty approach a drawbridge that's opening to let their boat pass through, but Tucker has a hilariously practical suggestion for making the whole process easier. This bite-sized humor tale delivers the kind of goofy maritime logic that makes shore leave worth the trouble.
When Seaweed demands a year's worth of unpaid wages from Shipwreck, the boathouse owner pulls out a blackboard and methodically deducts sleeping hours, meal breaks, Sundays, holidays, and vacation time—reducing Seaweed's $1,825 claim down to just five dollars for a single day of work. The hapless employee watches his entire year's pay evaporate in real-time math, leading to a conclusion neither of them quite anticipated.
