Larry and Dougal go to rescue Sally but, not finding her in the cabin, climb up to Blackface's cave. Blackface is waiting in the entrance with a gun, but Dougal climbs above him and leaps down.

Oz goes to the butcher to buy some beef. On the way home he sits on a park bench and falls asleep. On awakening he discovers the wrapped meat has been taken from his basket. Fearing a tongue lashing from his maw, he gets home to find that Bosko the dog had brought it back earlier and that dinner is now ready.

“Episode Four”

Having captured a Spanish vessel, Quick is amazed to find his true love Marjorie on board, en route to Spain and engaged to Rodriguez. A noble Spaniard appears on deck and battles the seamen, but Quick calls an end to it. He discovers the Spaniard to be the son of the Governor of Cadiz, and places him in irons while he changes course for England.
