Fred and George note an ad in the paper for a couple of young men to be companions and amuse a yachting party, so they decide to apply. As they near the dock where the yacht is supposed to be they are dragged off by some hard looking men who have had orders from their commander to secure a couple of men to be used as cooks for the yacht. The captain is taking his daughter for a cruise and the boys see her and strike up a flirtation, but cannot make the crew understand that they want to answer an ad, and not be cooks. Fred and George fight to see which one will wait upon the girl, as both are very jealous. A storm strikes the ship and the crew want to abandon it when the day is saved by bringing out some rum bottles, which are found to be empty. The girl gets seasick and the captain offers to give his ship to the one who will procure a lemon for her. This Eddie does. The next morning Eddie is made captain of the ship, and the girl totally ignores Lee, who is very seasick and miserable.
