The Live Ghost
Directed by Charley Rogers
Produced by Hal Roach Studios
A lighthearted slapstick comedy about two bumbling friends caught in a scheme of their own making, built on physical humor and comic misadventure.
Fish market workers Stan and Ollie are persuaded by a sea captain to shanghai a crew for him at the local bar for a dollar a head. Successful at first, the boys end up getting themselves shanghaied, and the crew vow revenge.
