[narrating] Johnny Cuba had dropped anchor, waiting 'til he wasn't seen.

Nobody in sight. That's what I like. Time to slip in closer to port and, er…. heh, heh, meet my Business Pals…
[narrating] But Johnny Cuba's idea of a business pal was, like himself, a Gangster.
Ahoy there! Hove to! Customs inspection! You are within port limits! I'm coming aboard! Hey! Watch out! What're you doing?! Careful! Car- Ow! [roughly pushed onto nearby rocks] Aargh!
JCJohnny Cuba
Ha Ha, Sorry, mate! The wind must've blown me off course! [cackling]
I don't like it 'ere. It's out of bounds to shipping…
JCJohnny Cuba
Too bad. Now I need Coal, right away! And be quick about it or I'll break yer stack!
JCJohnny Cuba
Did I say steal? Just get it when nobody's looking!
Yes sir… Right away, sir…
JCJohnny Cuba
And DON'T try anything fancy! Or you'll find yourself at the bottom of the harbour with cement in your hold! [cackles]
[narrating] Zebedee was now in a terrible situation. Johnny Cuba would sink him if he didn't help him. And because of something that happened years ago between those two, he knew Captain Zero would sink him if he did. So, he couldn't go and tell the Captain, could he? While Zebedee was trying to work this out, he saw the two Star switchers out in the bay struggling with Scuttlebutt Pete.
Come on, you two! Get sorted out or you won't get me home before the storm breaks!
Do better than that! You've got to!
I can't, the wind's too strong!
If only I could fix one more line! Oi! Zebedee! Give us a hand!
Sorry, can't stop! Important job to do.
Just hold him steady while I get another line aboard, that's all!
Well, 'cos we're in trouble, that's why!
And you owe us one for the barge!
Alright, just this once, but don't tell Captain Zero!
That's it… Thanks, Zebedee.
Aye, that's just what we needed.
And not a word, Scuttlebutt!
Me?! I never gossip! Never!
That'll be the day. If Captain Zero knows I helped Star tugs, I'm Rust!
[Clears Throat] Hello, Mr Cuba sir.
JCJohnny Cuba
Well well well it's Zebee back again. Keep doing as Johhny Cuba Tells ya, and you'll come to no harm, ya with me?
Yes Mr Cuba, the winds stopping-
JCJohnny Cuba
Right, there's a few other little things I want you to do for me before we go. Now listen, this is what I Wan-
Oh! Oh! Uh, it's Hercules!
Hello, what's going on here? Oh, yes, Zebedee! And where are you taking our friend, the well-known Johnny Cuba, eh?
JCJohnny Cuba
What's it to you, Star?
We know you, Johnny Cuba. Up to no good. We'll hand him over to the authorities, Zebedee, they may like to have a word with him.
JCJohnny Cuba
No, ya don't! [fires up his engine]
[narrating] The gangster tried to back out, but collided with Zebedee.
You're not going anywhere!
[narrating] Just to make sure, Zebedee rammed into Johnny Cuba, trapping him against the quayside.
Well done, Zebedee, m'dear! Come on, let's take him in.
JCJohnny Cuba
I'll break your stack for this one! THEY CAN'T HOLD JOHNNY CUBA!
[narrating] The authorities did hold Johnny Cuba, and gave official thanks to Zebedee and Hercules.
