Twin brothers, a hotel heiress and another teen girl live on the SS Tipton, where they attend classes at "Seven Seas High." Uptight Mr. Moseby manages the ship, which travels around the world to nations such as Italy, Greece, India, Sweden and the United Kingdom where the characters experience different cultures, adventures, and situations.
Cody uses and manipulates a computer dating program to impress Bailey. Zack and London play matchmaker for Mr. Moseby and Ms. Tutweiller, which appears to be successful until the couple begin an argument over The Three Stooges.
Moseby: I thought since you enjoyed classic movies, we could attend the Three Stooges Festival on the Fiesta Deck.
Tutweiller: By classic, I meant, like, CASABLANCA. The Three Stooges are just, silly.
Moseby: Silly? Au contraire. The Three Stooges are a metaphor for the ongoing class struggle. Moe’s the tyrannical bureaucrat, Curly the humble servant, and Larry... well, Larry just has funny hair.
Tutweiller: Well frankly, I don’t find them funny at all. In fact, I think they’re juvenile.
Moseby: Eh, uh, but, there hasn’t been a funnier movie than HALF-WITS HOLIDAY.
Tutweiller: The Stooges don’t make sense. Why is his name Curly, if he’s bald?
Moseby: That’s the joke!... OK, you have no sense of humor!
London: Hey, lovers! What’s the racket?
Moseby: This fuddy-duddy doesn’t think the Three Stooges are funny!
Zack: You don’t think A PLUMBING WE WILL GO is funny!?
Moseby: Hah!
London: So what if she doesn’t like the Three Stoogies?!
Zack and Moseby: Stooges!!!
Tutweiller: I could never date a man who loves the Three Stooges.
Moseby: Well, I only have one thing to say about that... rowf, rowf, rowf!
Tutweiller: Oh, a wise-guy, eh?
At this point the argument disintegrates into the two performing Stooges schtick on each other.
