Buster Keaton has built a boat in his house and intends to take his family on a trip. What could go wrong? Apart from everything.
First of all the boat is too big to get out of the house, the boat is finally removed from the house but not without demolishing the house! Buster's wife (Sybil Seely) is not that impressed naturally though shows admirable restraint. When the family do get to the sea, the boat it sinks (of course) leaving them in peril! He could probably do with another hobby to be honest.
This is a good slapstick comedy but with some subtle humour too. So much is packed into this short film, you might even think a little too much? A great film from a comedy master.
