Mike tells Eddie that he is through with shell picking as the grounds are just about cleaned out, when Rex Kingdom enters and announces that his schooner, the Kingdom Come, is going to try his hand in pearl diving. Mike and Rex joins forces and agree to split everything evenly. Rex does the diving and brings up a great pearl, but is attacked by a tiger shark on the second dive. Rex discovers soon after that Mike smeared Rex's ballast with ground salt-beef, which attracted the shark.
