About Permanent Wave

Oswald rows a whale that is towing a boat. The captain whistles for food, and the note hauls the sleeping rabbit back by the nose. A storm breaks the boat up. Oswald gets a mermaid he has fallen for onto a pole, and they kiss. The captain grabs for them, and the water pulls him down.
