Spoilers ahead
Bill Barnacle presides over a bleak voyage in the South Pole, joined by his loyal first mate Sam Sawnoff and the ship’s crewman Buncle. When Bill intervenes to stop Buncle from harming Sam, a catastrophe strikes: an iceberg cracks open and out pops an unlikely, immortal guest, Albert the Magic Pudding. Albert is rude, boastful, and insistent that they keep eating him, a demand that sows immediate tension among the trio. In a chaotic moment, Buncle swipes the pudding and escapes, only to plunge into the sea as the ice splits once more. Bill and Sam manage to recover the pudding and, after a moment of mourning for their presumed loss, resolve to guard it against any thief who would crave its endless supply.
