The story

What Is Pilgrim Porky About?

The premise of Pilgrim Porky without spoilers.

Captain Porky Pig leads the Pilgrims from Plymouth to America. Their voyage is packed with slap‑slap gags: blackout sailing bits, a running banter between the narrator and the cook while hunting a dinner fish, a seasick singing trio, and flying fish in airplanes. A storm called “The Rains Came” and a near‑collision with an iceberg threaten them, but they spot land and are welcomed by Chief Sitting Bull.
