IMDB
Buster Keaton decides to marry his girlfriend and go to Hawaii. When she rejects him, he decides to go anyway. He boards the wrong boat, which turns out to be her family's boat. Also, it happens that she's aboard and they've been set adrift. Neither know that each other is on the boat at first. The discover each other and sail along for a while before finally finding an island inhabited by unfriendly natives.
While I'm not as huge of a fan of Buster Keaton as I am of Harold Lloyd or Charlie Chaplin, I did really enjoy this film. The premise is solid and rife for comedy, which is very well taken advantage of. At an hour, there is really no reason to not see this film.
10/10
