Synopsis:
Wealthy Rollo Treadway (Buster Keaton) suddenly decides to propose to his neighbour across the street, Betsy O'Brien (Kathryn McGuire), and sends his servant to book passage for a honeymoon sea cruise to Honolulu. When Betsy rejects his sudden offer however, he decides to go on the trip anyway, boarding without delay that night. Because the pier number is partially covered, he ends up on the wrong ship, the Navigator, which Betsy's rich father has just sold to a small country at war.

‘I think a long walk will do me good.’ - The Navigator review by LJ

Overall lacks the grander stunts I have come to expect from Buster Keaton silent films. Unfortunately feels a bit racist.
