He enlists the help of Stanley and Oliver to recruit sailors from a dockside bar, using a humorous device that ultimately goes awry. After a series of misadventures at sea, a drunken sailor's fall into a whitewash trough triggers a catastrophic event, culminating in a classic Laurel and Hardy "fine mess" ending.
