Although Doctor Finlayson instructs Ollie to go on an ocean voyage and drink a lot of goat milk to cure his "hornophobia," the comedy team doesn't quite follow the physician's suggestions. Because Stan and Ollie are afraid of the water, they buy a goat and decide to spend some time aboard a rented boat they've tied to the dock. But, of course, things go horribly -- and hilariously -- wrong with their plan. The goat chews through the rope that's keeping them anchored, sending them out to the open sea... along with a murderous escaped convict! Making matters worse, Stan and Ollie don't even have any food onboard. There are plenty of laughs as Stan and Ollie try to outsmart their uninvited guest and, at the same time, get back to land before they starve. [More]
