The film opens on Christmas Eve in early Victorian London where Fred (Barry Mackay) arrives at the counting-house of his maternal uncle, Ebenezer Scrooge (Reginald Owen). Despite being invited to dine with his nephew the next day, Scrooge refuses. He then turns away two men who are collecting money for the poor, instead supporting the prisons and workhouses. That night Scrooge allows his clerk Bob Cratchit (Gene Lockhart) the next day off with pay but orders him back all the earlier the day after. After Bob accidentally knocks Scrooge's hat off with a snowball Scrooge sacks him on the spot, and deducts him a shilling. Bob spends the last of his wages on food for his family's Christmas dinner.

Un cuirassé, dont l'équipage est principalement composé de chiens (et de Porky), et dont le capitaine ressemble à Yosemite Sam, prend la mer. Lorsque l'équipage menace d'arriver au mess avant le capitaine, celui-ci leur ordonne de s'arrêter (et ils le font, certains en plein vol). Le navire reçoit un message radio de récompense pour la capture du sous-marin pirate. L'équipage part en avion pour aller le chercher, laissant Porky derrière lui. Naturellement, le sous-marin vient après le navire, et la défense revient à Porky. Il réussit à repousser l'équipe d'abordage et à treuiller le sous-marin à bord avec un plongeur.
