This silent comedy starring Alan Hale (Senior) is available for free download from internet archive--and it's worth the trouble. It's a harmless but enjoyable film about two sailor buddies who are constantly at odds with a guy from the Shore Patrol (the navy's version of MPs). This time, however, they really are up to nothing...yet events sure make it look like they are. In the process, they get hooked up with a nice young lady (Sally Eilers) and the three of them are constantly on the run and are trying to make it to the home of Adam's (Hale) mama to deliver a gift.

This is a very simple film with a simple plot. But despite this, it is fun and kept my interest throughout and made me laugh. And fortunately, the print archive.org has is high quality and an easy download.

As a fan of pre code films, especially watching ones before 1930 and being a navy veteran, this film was a real treat to watch! I watched it with my wife of 30 years and couldn't help but reminisce about my navy days before I met her. Like a black eye from shore leave, captain's mast, and being both in the shore patrol and being arrested by the shore patrol, lol. Of course, I brought her into the picture like Alan did at Slim's photo booth when I retired and she took pictures with me in my uniform. Nice happy ending too. I don't think it deserves such a low rating, there isn't any racism in it, so it's still politically OK to watch. 9 stars for me!

I watched the talkie version, I found it online. I liked the film so much I will watch that version as well someday.
