Synopsis:
Slam and Shorty are hired for security on the set of a movie being filmed on Pirate Island. A gang of bank robbers has hidden their loot on the island, so they stage a raid to retrieve it before the movie crew finds it. Shorty is sent to the mainland to bring help. However, since he is dressed in colonial garb, the authorities believe it is a publicity stunt for the Paul Revere movie. Shorty finally gets attention when he starts a fire. The police apprehend the crooks, and Shorty earns a reward. However, the Shorty must use the reward to pay off the damage caused by the fire.
