“"Just one long continuous laugh from the time the two girls board the boat for China until the two boys rescue them during a revolution".”
After his boss fires him for secretly dating his daughter, Joan, a fired clerk named Eustis and his towering friend Sharkey Nye sneak aboard Joan's China-bound ship. Refusing to be separated, the bumbling duo follows the women on a slapstick journey filled with chaotic, romantic misadventures.
