Little Toot the tugboat is driving around Venice while we learn of some unique aspects about life in Venice. The last thing we learn is that there are still special police who are in charge of watching and protecting the city from pirates. It states that there are no more pirates. Suddenly, though, there are pirates who arrive and begin stealing jewels and other treasures in the city. The police pursue the pirates and there are scenes of sword fighting, and gun fighting, with numerous scenes of bullets flying around the air. The police fail and while they are getting ready to sail away, Little Toot comes to the rescue. Oddly, after breathing in air from the glass blowing factory, he is able to puff out beautiful glass balls instead of smoke. The pirates want the glass balls, and in their greed, and as they try run after them, they ran right into the prison and were jailed. The message is that greed led to their undoing. Because Little Toot saved the day and was given a prize for his help, his favorite decoration in Venice, a candystick cane.
