When guest star Glenda Jackson and her penguin show up backstage, everything's fine - till she reveals that her bird's really a parrot, and she's Black Jackson the pirate! She and her crew take over the ship and cast off to sea...though Kermit insists it's a theatre, not a boat! As the chaos spreads, the outraged frog does the unthinkable - he quits!

I often think of The Muppet Show being done at night (though the Loretta Lynn episode disagrees with that), so I was surprised to see the scenes at sea, which I always felt were outside the theater (or maybe the Muppets put a big screen with pre-recorded footage there) showing them out at sea during the daytime.
