Synopsis
Mickey and the Gang espire to be like Christopher Columbus and explore new worlds. Mickey competes against Stinkie Davis in order to borrow Mary Ann's father's boat for the exploring. When Mickey loses, he and the Gang use their own boat. Later, the kids travel to a 'new world' (actually a small area close to home) and find themselves up against Native Americans, skeletons, and a real-live bear.
