A prank involving a donkey, a wasps' nest and some glue gets the Captain in hot water with Mama and the local native princess. The boys trade clothes with two pygmies and hilarity ensues. Hans and Fritz use semaphore flags to tell passing sailors that the Captain is a pirate, which is a lot of effort for a prank.
