== Story ==
It is a dark night. It's hard to see, but Captain Jim and his crew work hard to load a gold chest on their boat to take to another town. Unfortunately, this town has pirates, and the pirates want this gold.
One pirate saw what Captain Jim and his crew are doing. He waves a rag at a big black ship, signaling it to go after the gold.
Out at sea, Captain Jim views through his spyglass, seeing the big black pirate ship bound to rob the gold. Captain Jim and his crew must get away fast, but they are in the big storm with high winds and big waves. They saw land coming, but then the boat hits a rock, sending everyone, including the gold chest, tumbling down into the water. The men survive as they swim up to dry land.
When the storm is over, Captain Jim and his crew see that the pirates are after the boat from up top of a hill. They go down, and watch as the pirates have no luck finding the gold around Captain Jim's boat. When the pirates are gone, Captain Jim and his crew fix the boat and then set it out at sea. Captain Jim orders one of his crew men to put in a diving suit to dive down in the water to look for the gold.
The diver finds the gold chest on the sea floor, but it is guarded by a shark. The diver opens his helmet, letting out a HISS, scaring the shark away. The diver brings the gold back up to the boat. However, the boat cannot go unless its water tank is filled.
Captain Jim and his crew search for water, but the pirates have come back! In order to rid the pirates, Captain Jim finds a wasp nest, but orders the crew to put on their diving suits to avoid being stung. The crew take down the nest and throw it at the pirate ship. The pirates jump into the sea.
Now that Captain Jim's boat's water tank is filled, they set off with their gold, taking the pirate ship with them, and saying good-by to the pirates.
