Matthew decides to run the shop as tight as a ship - but the puppets misunderstand his orders. Scampi swabs a dog (Sweep) instead of a deck, and Soo turns Sooty literally into a Jack Tar with paint, soot and honey. When Matthew boasts what a good sailor he is the puppets take him on a ferry to prove he isn't. Whilst the puppets enjoy their voyage, Matthew feels more and more ill. Finally as the puppets enjoy a meal with the Captain, Matthew is very ill at the stern of the boat.
