Synopsis:
**********
Captain Ben Cutlet is a story teller at his local bar; he tells fishy tails and in return gets a fair few free drinks.
Harbottle is the barman and manages to get a few freebies himself. Albert is the gofer and generally messes up Cutlets stories.
One day though his stories get him into trouble and he finds himself captain of a scruffy unseaworthy ship, The Rob Roy.
But the second mate and the ships owner want to sink the ship for the insurance money and Cutlet is going to take the blame.
But Will gets wind of the plan and after escaping being tied up he and his two cohorts end up on a life raft all at sea.
The mutinous crew try to scupper the ship and take to their lift boats but the ship stays afloat.
Will and the boys regain the ship, capture the crew and sail home.

Opinions:
**********
With the great trio at its heart this film is easy on the eye. The jokes are simple and enjoyable. A nostalgic comedy which is funny and light.
Some remarks are made, which nowadays are clearly racist!
When Will and the boy's meet the island chief the language used is cringingly bad. This was made in 1936.
