Plot

A girl named Alice is stuck on a hard crossword puzzle when her cat tells her they should go to the beach. They swim in the ocean for a while then dry off and Alice continues her puzzle. Just as she begins, Pete (a collector of rare crossword puzzles and finds that that's the one he is missing) demands she gives him her puzzle. Alice refuses and smacks him in the face. She then runs into a light house and locks the door. Pete breaks down the door and chases Alice around the light house. Alice screams for help and her pet cat hears her. The cat climbs to the top and a fight breaks out. Alice's pet cat wins the fight by knocking Pete off the light house. Alice then discovers the last phrase in her puzzle, "The End."
