Conrad the Sailor

The story opens aboard a battleship staffed by anthropomorphic cats, who are singing 'The Song of the Marines' as a choir. The scene establishes the ship's lively, musical atmosphere with the cats performing their chorale.

Conrad, who resembles a character like Goofy, is seen swabbing the ship's deck. He is focused on his chores, singing while working, illustrating his cheerful and diligent personality amidst the musical setting.

Daffy Duck appears on the ship, disrupting Conrad with muddy footprints on the deck. From the mast, Daffy mocks Conrad's singing and antics, creating a mischievous and playful rivalry.

Daffy swaps Conrad's water bucket with a paint bucket, causing Conrad to mistakenly paint the deck in a sloppy manner. Daffy makes fun of him, intensifying the comedic conflict between the two.

Conrad, annoyed by Daffy's pranks, throws a mop at Daffy. Daffy catches it and performs a vaudeville routine before taunting Conrad with a playful rhyme, escalating the comic tension.

Fed up with Daffy's antics, Conrad chases him around the ship, but Daffy outsmarts him by hiding in various places, including a lifeboat, showcasing his cleverness and sense of mischief.

Whenever the ship's diminutive Admiral walks by, all characters abruptly stop their action, snap to attention, and salute, humorously emphasizing the Admiral's authoritative presence on the ship.

Daffy manages to outwit Conrad by hiding and confusing him, ultimately contributing to the ongoing comedic chaos aboard the ship, with Daffy's antics keeping the mood light and playful.

The climax involves Conrad and Daffy being chased by a shell fired from a ship's big gun. All characters, including the shell, momentarily snap to attention as the Admiral passes by, heightening the comic absurdity.

The chase continues off-screen as the cartoon concludes with an iris out, leaving the humorous adventure unresolved but ending in classic cartoon style with multiple characters in motion.
