Trouble at sea in an early talkie
Wheeler Oakman and Vera Reynolds are a married couple, Philip and Helen, having some rocky times. Phil is jealous of Helen and her friendship with best friend "Dave", played by Reed Howes. They all decide to take a yachting trip, but the yacht ends up on the bottom of the sea. After being picked up by a fishing boat, they realize Captain Gorilla is well named, and their troubles are just beginning. Earlier, we watched Gorilla either kill someone, or knock him out... it's not really made clear. Sound and editing are just miserable, but we get the idea. This one is only 59 minutes, so it was probably a "B" film, shown after the main event. Ralph Ince (Gorilla) died at age 50... car accident in London. Directed by Frank Strayer... had directed all the "Blondie" films. This one is all right. Love triangle... or more like a love octagon!
