- Synopsis:
A collection of classic shorts, based around the maritime adventures of Stan and Ollie. In 'The Live Ghost' they help round up a reluctant crew for a ghost ship' - and are shanghaied themselves! Taxi driver Stan is similarly aboard ship against his will in 'Sailors, Beware!' The classic 'Two Tars' is the famous film in which Stan and Ollie, as sailors on shore leave, become involved in a massive traffic jam. They are again sailors on leave in 'Men O'War', with hostilities taking place this time on a boating lake. 'Any Old Port!' sees Stan and Ollie arriving in port from a whaling voyage, to find their assistance required by a damsel in distress. Another imperilled damsel is Stan's girlfriend in the early, pre-teaming L&H comedy 'Why Girls Love Sailors'. One of the best-loved L&H shorts, 'Towed In A Hole', is that in which they buy a boat - and fill it with water to detect the leaks!
