Synopsis[]

The Pink Panther goes out fishing and buys 6 worms from a stand. One worm, however, is reluctant to end up as bait and tries to sabotage the Panther's fishing trip by attaching the hook to the motor propeller of a nearby boat, and later cutting off the wire to the motor in the panther's own boat. Finally, the panther has to fight an extremely vicious crab he has fished up from the water.

Plot[]

The Pink Panther goes fishing, but eventually gets sabotaged not once, but twice, by one of his own bait worms - who is not willing to be fed to a fish. The Panther then ends up in a fight against an aggressive crab that he accidentally reels in. When it seems that the Pink Panther is losing the fight, he grabs a rifle to settle the score, only for a gun snout to emerge from the crab's shell, revealing itself as a half-crab, half-army tank. The Pink Panther runs for his life and manages to escape in a motorized speedboat.
