After the first worm goes into the can, the second worm who is portrayed as a woman with gloves and high heels comes toward the can and grabs it inside. After Porky starts the engine, his boat goes crazy, letting it go off the rope and releasing towards the ocean. When Porky's boat is running straight to the battleship, he began to shut his eyes and goes down and up from the ocean through the ship. Then, he closes his eyes again towards crashing inside the battleship filled with Navy sailors and splitting the dinner table in half with the boat, escaping the ship and now it sinks forever. After Porky steps the brake to stop the boat, he feel dizzy toward his head on the water and suddenly a fish goes into his nose and gets sneezed out of his mouth. Porky gets out his fishing rod and he accidentally flips his boat because of the fish hook has gotten on the back of the boat. Porky starts fishing and he accidentally catches a fish head trophy and he throws it out. He catches all of the fish, then he puts them in bucket, and he feels tired and yawns. He's grabbing his rope as a pillow and begins sleeping and it's a daydream. Suddenly, an anthropomorphic fish is portrayed as a hunter getting a fishing rod gun and firing towards Porky on the boat. He wakes up in the dream. He finds a ring shaped like a donut and began sagging onto his nose and he goes into the water towards the hunting fish and grabs him as a matched fish. Then he carries Porky to the house underwater when suddenly, two fish kids and a fish wife that the kids told the her husband's home. After the fish wife and kids see Porky upside down, the kids begin laughing and get scared (when he touched Porky acts like a fish), and they're running towards the laundry basket. When a hunter carries Porky to the kitchen, he use a knife to cut his shirt until he's naked, putting Porky into the pan and he adds pepper and he began sneezing (the fish says "Gezunheiht" to Porky), then he adds carrots and potatoes and an apple to put on Porky's mouth, and he puts Porky into the oven. Inside the oven, a couple of flames are dancing around in circle, and Porky feels suffocated while coughing and he cries, "let me outta here!" After Porky escapes the oven, he begins running away from the house. He sees an eel, swimming away, punching it into twisted, and gone into a giant fish and gone away. Then he sees a swordfish toward a pole and hitting the point with a hammer. Suddenly, Porky is caught by an octopus and begins hitting him and is caught trapped forever.
