Rather weird early Laurel and Hardy movie, another one from pre-bowler days when they were not yet officially a duo. Stan plays Chester Chaste, a cab driver who finds himself shanghaied onto a trans-Atlantic liner; Ollie plays the womanising Purser. Also on board are a female thief (Garvin) and her husband, a midget who disguises himself as a baby (Earle).

Has a manic, screwball sort of feeling to it, which sort of makes up for the fact there's probably a bit too much going on and Stan and Ollie don't spend enough time together on-screen. The various scenes of Laurel with Earle are quite good, though, and the film builds up to a decent climax. Bonkers enough to be good fun.
