Old Tom is upset when Lucy has to go to a friend's party, so Angela takes him to the beach to cheer him up. As Angela dozes, Old Tom gets up to mischief. He grabs hold of the tail of a kite, which carries him out over the sea and drops him onto what looks like a pirate ship. However, it turns out to be a pirate-themed children's party, and Old Tom eats all the food. When the kids discover what he has done, they tie him up and threaten him with 'Scarface, the meanest pirate of them all'. However 'Scarface' is really Lucy, and Old Tom is untied. Before the party can resume, the birthday boy's father, who has fallen overboard, is chased by a shark, so Old Tom grabs a rope and rescues him.
