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.
A short early sound comedy built almost entirely on slapstick: two sailors on an outing that unravels step by step. The pace is brisk, and the gags come from Stan's naivety clashing with Ollie's wounded dignity. The fun lies in the escalation, which eventually pulls in a whole lake full of people.
Good for you if you like short, no-frills slapstick comedies from the early sound era.
