A lighthearted silent-era comedy short about two sailors' misadventures with romance and boating, built entirely on physical humor and good-natured chaos.

Sailors Stan and Ollie offer to buy sodas for two women they meet in a park, even though they are short on cash. Luckily Stan wins the jackpot on a slot machine and the boys have enough money to rent a boat to cruise on a lake. They soon tangle with other boaters and everyone ends up in the water.
