Jetsam Joe gets handed a thousand dollars and a mission: buy a sextant for the Captain—but he has no idea what one is. Rather than admit his confusion, Joe sets off on a comical chain of misunderstandings, asking stranger after stranger for help, each explanation leading him further astray until he arrives back with a hilariously wrong purchase. It's a perfect little wind-up gag that plays Joe's well-meaning dimwittedness for all the laughs it's worth.
