On departure, a tidal wave shipwrecks Sprite II, leaving the crew marooned on Piranga Chica. Rocky and Ling rescue Lassie off Piranga, taking all the mutineers' firearms. A thrown rock beans Rocky! He's unconscious nigh two weeks, nursed by Gerry. Meanwhile, the others transport the now healed pirate Slinger to Piranga. He stomps a hole in the dinghy, they plug it, returning to Piranga Chica.
