Podgy’s insatiable appetite leads to him getting locked in a crate full of biscuits (cookies to you Americans), and Rupert gets dragged along for the ride trying to save him. It’s not long before the two are trapped on a desert island about to be cooked alive by a tribe of crocodiles.
First appearance of the Professor’s Sky Cycle.

!!This episode provides examples of:
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: For [[ValuesDissonance obvious reasons]], the cannibals are changed to anthropomorphized crocodiles instead of the dark-skinned native humans from the comic strip story.
* AdaptedOut: Algy was the companion in the comic strip story “Rupert, Algy, and the Cannibals.” He doesn’t appear at all in this version.
* AscendedExtra: Podgy takes the role Algy had in the original comic strip version.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The Serpent King leads his people to save Rupert and his fellow captives because Rupert saved him (“a service for a service”).
* CannibalTribe: Setting aside that all the parties involved are different sapient species...
* CapturedByCannibals: Rupert, Podgy, and the human crew get captured by not-very-talkative but clearly intelligent, reasoning crocodiles who plan to eat them all.
* TheCavalry: The Serpent King and his friends.
* HopeSpot: Podgy’s plan to convince the crocodiles to release him so he can help them make their stew and free his friends behind their backs almost works. ''Almost...''
* ItsAllMyFault: Podgy laments how all the danger he and his friend are in happened because he broke into that biscuit factory. He’s 100% right.
* LethalChef: Rupert (hey, nobody’s perfect).
* LiteralMinded: After the snake calls himself the Serpent King and Podgy quips [[AndImTheQueenOfSheba “And I’m the prince of Nutwood!”]], the Serpent King sincerely calls him “Prince of Nutwood.”
* TheLoad: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] InUniverse -- Podgy is well aware he’s this to Rupert and apologizes profusely for getting him into this mess.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Both played straight and subverted. The tribe of crocodiles is depraved enough to eat sapient beings alive, but the army of snakes is honorable and helpful.
* SapientEatSapient: This is what you get when you combine the CapturedByCannibals cliché with a LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy world.
* SnakesAreSinister: Podgy initially believes this trope is fact, telling Rupert the Serpent King can’t be trusted. Good thing Rupert disagrees.
* SupremeChef: Podgy (no surprise).
* WorkOffTheDebt: The crew put the boys to work for stowing away.
