Major Story Arcs
Unable to get a few crew for his ship, Captain Epsom hires Swami Salami to trick some locals into boarding the Sinking Sue so as to be shanghaied. He gets Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd, two very incompetent deckhands. He leaves the oversight of the boys to Big Moose, his first mate.
After months at sea, the captain informs the crew that they are at the spot for the big dive. Not for treasure, though – for his lost false teeth. Whispers of mutiny being circulating and the captain dupes Charlie into parading as the captain. The crew runs Charlie off the boat. It is not known what happens when the crew realizes that the real captain is still on the boat.
