- The episode starts as Cliff tells a story about a chocolate cottage and a monster then Rodger gets sent to bed. Then Bosun tells the story about a curse that if you killed an albatross you would be cursed. Then Rodger kills one by sending an arrow straight though the heart and landing on deck. The next day the weather is hot - "It's the forces gathering" Bosun says. Then whilst in the cabin a shock on thunder and lightning is heard and Rodger is gone, there is only his hat left on the wheel. Then Butler is in bed when the monsters voice is heard saying "Rodger is dead, then Adeel, then it's you Butler You!". Then after an Eclipse Adeel is gone and a note is left on the sails "Adeel is dead your next Butler" (en)
- The crew threaten to mutiny when Butler doesn't start some real pirating but his salvation comes in the unlikely form of sweet innocent Lucy. (en)
- This episode starts off with Rodger reading a girly magazine "Susie" when Butler comes along and asks Rodger what he's reading. While reading "Susie" Rodger reads an article about Nelson. A while later the crew see a ship in the distance, then the crew panic once they find out it is Nelson's ship. Adeel spreads some dip and wine about to make it look like they have been attacked. Everyone goes and hides and then Nelson comes aboard to see the ship. The Captain then finds out everyone is in the cupboard with the result of the Captain being pushed out right into Nelson's arms. Butler pretends to be dead until Nelson suggests throwing him over the side. Butler makes this Hocus Pocus story about his crew dying while battling the French. While Nelson is communicating with his ship the crew dress as the French and beat Nelson up then while Hardy is rowing back to the ship comes the famous line "Kiss me Hardy, on the lips". (en)
- There is not much of a plot in this series. This show is about a bunch of Pirates who don't do much while out at sea, then one day while bobbing around Rodger throws his stuff on board and asks if he can join the crew. The Captain says it is not as easy as that, and Rodger almost gets his throat cut by Bosun , until he offers the Captain quite a lot of money. Rodger tells the crew about a Spanish slave ship heading across the Atlantic. Then the crew arrive, with the Captain dressed as an Admiral. Bosun cuts a hole in the side of the boat and after finding out there are no slaves, everyone drowns. (en)
