Gamba and his companions find themselves stranded on a decaying battleship where a Grouper protects the sole food supply. Following a tiring day, Gamba devises a strategy to distract the fish by luring it toward seagulls. This diversion allows the mice to access the provisions and consume enough to complete Gakusha's newly built submarine invention. The group successfully utilizes the opportunity created by Gamba's clever maneuver to secure their meal and advance their project on the isolated vessel.
