After the debacle with the lady, the gents reconvene, and go about trading in their car and raising an additional $300 for a propeller boat that ends up being a "lemon." No sooner are the Stooges on the ocean when their boat starts to sink. They climb aboard their spare dinghy, and signal some passing planes for help. Unfortunately, they signal using a white rag with a large red paint-splatter in the center, making it resemble the flag of Japan. The planes overhead turn out to be bombers who believe the Stooges are Japanese sailors that are part of the Japanese navy, and promptly bomb the trio. Amidst the bombing, Moe creates a makeshift motor out of a propeller and Curly's victrola, and the trio make a mad dash out of there.
