A lighthearted 1940s comedy romp built on slapstick mishaps, musical numbers, and tropical island hijinks with minimal stakes or darkness.

A pair of bus drivers accidentally steal their own bus. With the company issuing a warrant for their arrest, they tag along with a playboy on a boat trip that finds them on a tropical island, where a jewel thief has sinister plans for them.
