Saps at Sea is the last film produced by Hal Roach. It is three shorts rolled into one in effect.
Laurel & Hardy work in a horn manufacturing company where they test horns, the noise has a detrimental effect in the workers and pretty soon Hardy succumbs to the noise.
When Laurel takes him home Dr Finlayson diagnoses a severe case of hornophobia and prescribes a voyage to the sea. Laurel instead rents a boat for a few days but an escaped convict takes refuge and hold them hostage.
The noise induced beginning is bound to make the audience suffer with hornophobia, Laurel taking Hardy home in the car just shows his ineptness compounded further when the doctor calls around and the plumbing in their apartment is all wonky.
The best bit is when they cook a synthetic meal for the escaped convict who then makes them eat it meanwhile all the time on the boat Chekhov's trumpet is there to be seen.
