A Hal Roach CHARLEY CHASE Comedy Short.
It's ROUGH SEAS ahead for Charley when he tries to sneak both his French girlfriend and pet monkey aboard the troop transport heading home.
The script writers let poor Charley down in this rather unfunny and very silly little film; his personal brand of humor has not weathered well here, but fortunately he gets to sing a few songs (including 'Asleep In The Deep') and that he does quite nicely. The lovely & vivacious Miss Thelma Todd, as Charley's sweetheart, fares even worse - she is given virtually no chance to wield her considerable talents.
Movie mavens should recognize an uncredited Charlie Hall as a doughboy on ship.
