Saps at Sea
They'll Scuttle Your Blues To the Bottom of the Sea!
A lighthearted slapstick comedy about two bumbling friends on a sea voyage, built entirely on physical gags, affection, and the absurdity of escalating mishaps.
Stan and Ollie work in a horn factory. Ollie starts having violent fits every time he hears a horn. His doctor prescribes a restful sea voyage. Mayhem ensues.
