(DVD, Universal)

Plotless hodge podge of variety acts on an ocean liner involved in a race across the Atlantic. Bob Hope's debut feature has him as the radio emcee. More interesting is W.C. Field's character, a drunk millionaire who owns the boat, and also has a flying motorcycle. He cheats at golf, plays pool with a crooked cue, flirts with the ladies and hijacks the ship.
