King Neptune, Ruler of the Sea, has a beautiful daughter, and when Bill sees her he attempts to flirt with her, but meets retribution at the hands of her lover, who has been expelled from the tribe because of his attention to Neptune's Daughter. Pirates later attack the island, and with plans they go to the hiding place of Neptune's gold, and are about to leave with it, when the Sweetheart of Neptune's Daughter asserts his right to marry her by driving the pirates off single-handed. This wins him the favor of Neptune and they go down in the sea for a wedding among the fish, but before going Neptune discovers the perfidy of Bill, when, while on a short visit, he placed Bill on his throne. Bill used this position to purloin some gold, and when he is later found with it, he is forced to escape from the island in the Pirates' boat. Awaking in his dingy room he finds it all a dream and is very happy as his many trials and tribulations were entailed with the hardest knocks he has yet encountered in his bungling career.
