One man's dream is another's nightmare!

Winchell McSweeney (Stan Laurel) is a complete milquetoast. After very tearfully bidding goodbye to his mommy, he takes an ocean cruise. Unfortunately, there is a shipwreck and he's stranded on an island with several beautiful ladies as well as a scary Amazonian. Guess which one has set her eyes on Winchell?

This is a cute comedy and the second half is so much better than the first. Just bear with it when the unfunny and overdone seasickness portion occurs...it will get better. Original and quite cute.

By the way, like so many tropical island locations in movies and on TV, this was filmed on Catalina island off the California coast...and close to Hollywood.
