About
Uncle Beans and the kids are off to visit haunted ship 'The Phantom' trapped in the ice, hoping to find pirate treasure. They encounter all manner of ghosts and goblins, but eventually find what they've been looking for. When Beans tries to warm up by throwing some chairs in a stove and lighting it, he thaws out a pair of pirates that chase the trio around. The treasure-seekers are eventually forced back into their plane and they fly away.
