Story
We are to follow how young Ned Seagoon journeys by steam packet to the Americas to find the Lost Gold Mine and how, after being foully tricked by several desperadoes, he eventually triumphs. The action takes place aboard the SS Filthmuck, in a New Orleans dustbin, near the desert town of San Fairee Ann and in a dried up gulch near Hammersmith.
