"The Boat" is the 7th episode of the first season of Inspector Gadget.
Synopsis[]
Quimby orders Gadget to attend a cruise in order to safeguard the passengers' expensive jewelry.
Despite the efforts of a M.A.D. milkman and his exploding milk bottle, a bothersome seagull who seems to have taken a liking to the police inspector, and two M.A.D. agents who won't let anyone on a ship without an invitation, Gadget manages to get aboard. Little does he know that Claw is also on board and he's replaced the entree crew with his own men. Penny and Brain have snuck on board, too, and while Brain shadows the inspector, Penny does some investigating of her own below deck, but she's soon captured.
Upstairs at a cocktail party, Gadget suspiciously eyes various guests until the lights suddenly go out. Panic breaks out when guests' jewelry is plucked from them in the dark. While Gadget continues interrogating passengers, Claw gets ready to get rid of the kidnapped crew. Hoping to force some sort of showdown, Brain guides Gadget downstairs into a rat's nest of M.A.D. agents, who presumably overpower him. The next morning, Gadget is soon strung up on the cable of a crane, and is mercilessly and repeatedly dunked in the ocean by Claw as Penny and Brain are forced to watch, toying with him as a cat plays with a mouse. The police (and the Coast Guard) arrive just in time to capture the M.A.D. agents, save Gadget, the crew, and the jewels. Dr.Claw, however, manages to make a quiet last-minute escape underwater.
Trivia[]
- During his investigation of the stolen jewels, Gadget asks one of the passengers: "Where were you when the lights went out?". This could possibly be an allusion to the 1968 comedy film of the same name.
