Mutinous Sea Captain and Cunning Milk Capers
In a dramatic, decades old sea tale a captain orders execution on a mutinous crew and fires upon an English rival amid a violent shipboard crisis. A sailor named Bill jumps to life versus flogging or death, the crew mutinies to save him, and the ship limps to port with the captain confined and the injured man dying that night. Across town, Pipkin the drinker battles milk and misdirects his wife Susan in a farcical bedroom scene ending with a sobering lesson on milk and marriage.
