As they sit sipping the cider they fall asleep and dream. They find themselves on board of a ship bound for the cannibal islands to hunt for the treasure. After a series of mishaps they land upon the island and are captured by the cannibals. Meyer is at once selected to fill the cannibal menu, and is immediately made ready for the feast. The cannibal queen falls in love with him, however, and saves him for the time being. The cannibals thereupon grab Heinze and place him in the pot. Meyer cannot desert his old friend, however, and prevails upon the queen to help him rescue his friend. One of the cannibals seeking driftwood for the fire, unconsciously picks up some dynamite that has drifted ashore and dried on the beach and when it is placed under the pot an explosion occurs which shatters Meyer's contemplated rescue and hurls the two adventurers from the land of dreams to the floor of the grocery store where a fire started from Heinze's cigar and which adds heated realism to their sudden awakening and causes them both to forswear hard cider in the future.
