The episode opens with Woody receiving a wedding invitation from his beloved teacher. However, the gang becomes suspicious when they realize Miss Gish's fiancé is a much younger man, and they fear he is after her money.
Sam, Carla, Woody, and Norm team up to attend the wedding on the yacht, where they are met by a motley crew of guests, including a paranoid survivalist, a man obsessed with model trains, and a group of wealthy oil tycoons. Meanwhile, back at Cheers, Frasier struggles to maintain control of the bar as several of the regulars become increasingly rowdy and disruptive.
As the wedding ceremony gets underway, the gang at Cheers hatch a plan to rescue Miss Gish from her potentially disastrous marriage. Their plan involves secretly switching the marriage certificate for a forged one, but things quickly go awry when they discover they have the wrong certificate.
Despite their setback, the gang remains determined to save Miss Gish, and they come up with a new plan involving a game of high-stakes poker. With the help of a reluctant Frasier and a bit of luck, they manage to win enough money to buy back Miss Gish's freedom.
As the episode draws to a close, Miss Gish thanks her former student Woody for his help, and the gang at Cheers celebrates their victory with a round of drinks. Yacht of Fools is a fun and entertaining episode that showcases the clever wit and humor that Cheers is known for. Fans of the show will enjoy watching the gang work together to save Miss Gish and outsmart her conniving fiancé.
