Danny McGee Drinks the Sea follows Danny McGee to the seaside with his sister, where he makes a bet that he can drink the sea all up!

And he does. He drinks it all through a straw. Then, his appetite grows as he eats a tree, and then a cat drinking some tea, and then a man learning to ski... And so it goes on, until the only thing that is left on the planet is Danny McGee and his little sister.

And she has a surprise for him!
