Felix arrives too late to catch the ship. Goldie won't lay for the pirates. Felix sees a cannon and turns himself into a human cannonball to catch teh ship. With help from Goldie and another cannon, he subdues the crew, wrapping them in the sail and depositing them in the hold. He and Kidd have a swordfight, but their swords melt together.

There is peace in the forest and among all of the animals there, including a pair of ducks who befriend Molly Moo-Cow. A pair of hunters come on the scene, go hunting and hurt the ducks, so it's Molly to the rescue.

Molly Moo-Cow washes to shore on an island, the one occupied by Robinson Crusoe. Much of the short is Crusoe extolling the virtues of the solitary life, Molly trying to ingratiate herself to Crusoe and Crusoe trying to get rid of her.

From the time they grab him Crusoe is yelling for help (from whom is unclear, given that he wants the island to himself).
