Fred is delighted to be invited onto Mr. Slate's yacht, until he learns that he is there to paint it. Asking the Rubbles to join them, the couples start having so much fun on board that they forget the paint job and fail to notice the yacht has broken free and is drifting. Slate charges Fred with mutiny and piracy, but Fred redeems himself when he rescues the visitors to an island (including Slate) from a volcano.
