The March Brothers part to their PT boat and sub. The sub is grabbed from underwater by a giant claw and crushed. The PT visits an island for repairs. They're grabbed by a giant dinosaur, bombed by a giant ape with coconuts and attacked by aquatic dinosaurs. A pterodactyl snatches their torpedo and destroys the PT boat. Captain Pete drifts, the only survivor, out to sea. And sees the sub crew and PT crew in lifeboats, attacked again. Pete shoves a torpedo and the dinosaurs are killed. Days later, the brothers watch as the island is carpet-bombed into an inferno.
