Released March 17, 1945
Featuring Moe, Larry and Curly
Columbia
17 min. (Short Subject)

The Stooges again run a fish business. Curly suggests that they buy a boat to catch their own fish. "That would eliminate the middleman and the profit would all be ours." They buy sailor outfits, with Curly masquerading in a real Captain's uniform, and are mistaken for Japanese when their boat sinks and they raise a paint-splattered rag to signal for help.

A reworking of the Laurel and Hardy short TOWED IN A HOLE (1932).
