Synopsis
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy are on a whaling boat in search of whales. Mickey tries to pitch a bucket of water off the ship, but it keeps coming back to him, to his annoyance. Meanwhile, Donald and Goofy spot a whale, but Goofy's efforts to shoot a harpoon at it lands him inside the whale's mouth, so Donald tries to come to his rescue. In the end, the whale crashes into the ship, wrecking it and the trio land on a small raft. Goofy holds up a fish in which he mistakes for the whale and also saying "He must've shrunk".
