==Plot synopsis==
==Plot synopsis==
As usual, the episode begins with [[Donkey Kong]] being chased by [[Mario]] and [[Pauline]], this time into a city port. When Pauline inquires whether Donkey Kong ever gets tired of being chased, he indicates that he does not. In front of an ocean liner known as the [[S.S. Romance]], Donkey Kong spots suitcases stacked on a cart and uses it to get farther ahead, though Mario insists that he is able to keep up with him. Donkey Kong then gets off the cart and opens a briefcase, rummaging through it and pulling out various contents until he finds a can of shaving cream. He proceeds to fill a sock with it before tying it and hurling it directly toward Mario, coating him in cream. Clearly amused by this, Donkey Kong rummages through more suitcases and finds several white sheets.

Meanwhile, the captain aboard the cruise liner welcomes [[Miss Persimmon O'Hara]], a wealthy Southern belle who introduces herself in a flirtatious manner, requesting that she be called by her first name, fluttering her eyelids and pinching the captain's cheek. After she is directed to her cabin, she kisses him. Although the captain smiles, he continues to salute crew members [[Barnacle and Long John]], who recognize O'Hara and know of her financial status, beginning a plot to kidnap her and steal her fortune. At this time, Donkey Kong boards the ship, using the sheets to disguise himself as a swami. Noticing that Donkey Kong has boarded, Mario puts himself and Pauline into a chest about to be put onboard.

On deck, Barnacle and Long John notice O'Hara and make their first attempt at kidnapping her, trying to drag her away. Donkey Kong, hiding in a nearby lifeboat, hears O'Hara's cries for help and pulls her away from her captors, causing her to lose her glasses in the process. Donkey Kong proceeds to put Barnacle and Long John into funnels before tossing them into the ocean. O'Hara, shown to be nearly blind without her glasses, misidentifies Donkey Kong as a large, handsome man and becomes infatuated with him, offering him millions of dollars and anything he desires. When Donkey Kong requests bananas, O'Hara informs him that she owns the largest banana plantation on [[Earth]]. Barnacle and Long John, still bobbing in the ocean, discuss how their goal would be much more difficult with Donkey Kong and O'Hara together.

Having successfully boarded the ship themselves, Mario and Pauline run down the deck, with Mario slipping on Donkey Kong's banana peel and sliding into the children's pool. Pauline chastises him before noticing Donkey Kong in a folding chair, being hand-fed bananas by Miss O'Hara. Mario uses a boy's inner tube, modeled after a blond woman, to get Donkey Kong into the water, with Pauline crying out as if she were drowning. Against O'Hara's wishes, Donkey Kong approaches the pool. Rather than leaping in, he pulls the handle off a broom to create a straw, which he then uses to drain the pool. In doing so, he catches Mario and blows him upward in a geyser. When Pauline demands he stop, Donkey Kong does so, causing Mario to bounce off a diving board into a folding chair, trapping him.

When Pauline attempts to coax Donkey Kong into returning to the circus, Miss O'Hara refuses, reminding Donkey Kong of her promise should he stay with her. As Donkey Kong contemplates his choices, O'Hara pulls him away, announcing her intention to marry him as soon as he can get a tuxedo. Barnacle and Long John, now back on the deck, decide that Donkey Kong has feelings for Pauline. As such, they use a net to capture Pauline and hang her over the water, luring Donkey Kong away from O'Hara. Just after the duo rushes toward O'Hara, the net holding Pauline breaks, sending her into the ocean. Donkey Kong boards an inflatable boat nearby and pulls the plug to propel himself toward Pauline in order to rescue her in time. Long John and Barnacle fall in afterward, having planned to use the boat for a getaway. Finding O'Hara tied up, Donkey Kong saves her as well, and is led toward the wedding hall, where the captain has preparations for them. Mario and Pauline dart after them, with Barnacle and Long John following closely behind.

Mario and Pauline dart after them, with Barnacle and Long John in hot pursuit.


The passengers and captain, having gathered in an auditorium for the marriage, express shock and disapproval when the couple walks down the aisle, seeing that O'Hara is marrying an ape. Long John and Barnacle, disguised as bridesmaids carrying O'Hara's dress, agree that their scheme is working. Meanwhile, Mario and Pauline reveal their hiding location inside a hollow wedding cake. The ceremony, held by the captain, begins with him calling Donkey Kong an ape before correcting himself to call him a man. Mario uses the icing of the cake as a rope at the same time the sailor duo puts their plan into motion. After the captain asks if anyone objects to the marriage, Mario and Pauline exclaim that they do, to the surprise of almost everyone. Using the rope, Mario attempts to lasso Donkey Kong, inadvertently hitting the captain instead. Donkey Kong runs down the aisle to escape, though Mario, already waiting at the end, folds him into the long carpet, capturing him. However, it is at this moment that Long John and Barnacle once again succeed in capturing Miss O'Hara and run off with her. Pauline convinces a very reluctant Mario to release Donkey Kong in order for her to be rescued.

However, Long John and Barnacle succeed once again in capturing Miss O'Hara at this very time, now running off with her. Pauline convinces a very reluctant Mario to release Donkey Kong in order for her to be rescued.


Back outside, the sailors, still in disguise, begin to escape in a lifeboat with O'Hara in tow. Donkey Kong approaches the ship's bow and uses an anchor as a lasso, capturing both Barnacle and Long John. With O'Hara now out of danger, Mario resumes the chase, running directly toward Donkey Kong. O'Hara, left alone in the lifeboat, is rescued by the captain in a different lifeboat, who removes his own glasses to find her attractive as well. Mario uses a lasso to make one final attempt to capture Donkey Kong, who evades him by hopping onto a shark and escaping. With Mario in disbelief, Pauline attempts to console him, reminding him that he has caught Donkey Kong once and should be able to do so again, which Mario rejects.

*When [[Donkey Kong]] stops the luggage cart next to the gangway leading to the [[S.S. Romance]], one of the passengers boarding the ocean liner disappears for a frame before the transition to the next shot.
*When the captain arrives at [[Miss Persimmon O'Hara]]'s boat, both boats move simultaneously when the latter is supposed to be stationary.
*When the captain admits that O'Hara is attractive, his eyebrows disappear several times.
 
==Trivia==
*This is one of the two episodes where [[Mario]] successfully captures [[Donkey Kong]], but is forced to release him to stop a criminal, the other being "[[Hairy Parent]]." Coincidentally, both episodes are the sixth episodes of their respective season.
