Richie Rich
Richie Rich; Gloria Glad; unnamed yacht crewmen and crew applicants; Manta; Lippy; Froggy
Richie takes Gloria for a cruise on his new yacht, but first he must fill out his brand new crew. Seeing Richie's ad for a captain and two seamen, Manta and his henchmen threaten anyone else who try to apply for the jobs and, using forged papers, fill the positions themselves. Once at sea, they take over the ship at gunpoint, hoisting a pirate flag. Richie and Gloria put up a fight but are soon locked in their cabins. Using suction cups, Richie climbs out the porthole in his cabin, not exactly sure what he plans to do.

Richie Rich
Richie Rich; Gloria Glad; unnamed yacht crewmen; Manta; Lippy; Froggy
Having taken over Richie's yacht, Manta and his thugs steer toward another ship, board at gunpoint and steal money from the other ship's crew. Meanwhile, using suction cups to climb along the ship's exterior, Richie makes it to the radio room but has to leave to avoid Manta's men. Back in his cabin, he signals another nearby ship of the danger using a mirror. Manta figures out what Richie is doing and threatens to harm Gloria if he causes any more trouble. With the suction cups, Richie reaches Gloria's cabin, and together they make their way to a ship storeroom. Manta discovers they are gone.
