A musical comedy with the usual songs performed by the idol of the time Manolo Escobar. A mediocre comedy with a plain, silly, simple plot, including some naughty situations and a bit of nudism; dealing with Manolo and the rest of his boat crew, worried about their future employment, will devise a plan to prevent the ship sale and, in the process, Manolo will fall in love with the owner. One of Manolo's last cinematic vehicles, this time on a low budget but with a number of recognizable Spanish actors who show their usually hilarious acting skills, such as: Manolo Gómez Bur, Álvaro de Luna, Manuel Alexandre, Luis Barbero, Francisco Camoiras and special mention for Mayra G. Kemp, prior to her success as a presenter on the famous contest "1, 2, 3 answer again". Adding some actresses who usually performed in the subgenre of "Destape" (nudism), such as: Silvia Aguilar, Mirta Miller
