Synopsis

Rejected after an impulsive marriage proposal, a wealthy man decides to take the planned honeymoon voyage alone. He boards the wrong ship and finds himself in an unexpected situation aboard a large vessel. Practical tasks become monumental problems for someone accustomed to having every need met by servants.

Behind the scenes

The former USAT Buford supplied the enormous setting. Building comedy around an actual ship allowed Keaton to turn kitchens, decks and machinery into a connected system of physical challenges.
