Plot Overview
Drinky Crow and Uncle Gabby take out a rowboat into the ocean and hunt down a large pink whale with a harpoon. Gabby stabs the whale to death, but they don't count on the whale's blue husband coming to hunt them down. Drinky shoots himself in the head while Gabby tries to row them out of danger, when that doesn't work he ties himself to the anchor and hurls himself overboard, praying that Gabby isn't right about horrible sexual torture following death. In the sea, he sees a mermaid and embraces her before Drinky is resuscitated by Gabby. Gabby passes off his sight as the rambling nonsense of a brain damaged crow.
Gabby tells Drinky that if it's beautiful, it doesn't exist, which the captain's daughter takes offense to. Gabby starts hitting on her, but he's whipped savagely by the captain for his perverse tendencies. Afterwards, Gabby takes Drinky to the best Chinese food store he can find to prove that there's no such thing as a mermaid. The captain's daughter encourages him to follow his heart though, so he flies off, leaving her and Gabby to their own devices... Until Gabby realizes that nobody's watching out for the French, who are attacking. The French lieutenant cuts Gabby in half and uses him as bait for fishing. A large fish bites onto Gabby's torso, just in time for Drinky to mistake him for a mermaid. He loses it and kills all of the French sailors. They regroup and start firing again, but stop when the mermaid-like Uncle Gabby dances for them while Drinky paints the French ship to look like the grief-stricken whale's wife. Drinky's plan works and the blue whale destroys the French with its love making.
