- A pirate ship sinks just off the coast of Moomin valley in a storm. All of the pirates who swim ashore are captured except the Captain who takes the Snork Maiden hostage in the Snork's newly built hanger/boat house. In order to set her free the Captain demands his crew released and a new pirate ship be built with 50 cannons. Moominpappa's sailing boat is offered but is turned down. With Snork away collecting parts for his flying ship, Snufkin comes up with a plan to free the Snork Maiden. Moomin delivers two glasses of strawberry juice; a small one for Snork Maiden and a large one for the Captain. The Captain is suspicious and wants Snork Maiden to try his glass first in case its poison or sleeping potion. Moomin doesn't allow this and drinks it instead; causing him to apparently fall asleep. The Captain smugly drinks from the smaller glass intended for Snork Maiden and falls asleep. Moomin gets up and explains to Snork Maiden how he double bluffed the Captain and that the smaller glass contained sleeping potion, not the large one. It's explained that the Captain awoke after two days in prison and that after a week, all the pirates where set free as they didn't do any pirating in Moomin Valley anyway.
