Although this Jimmy Aubrey comedy was shot on Catalina Island, all that is ever really seen of the lovely surroundings is the pier and the ocean, where Aubrey constantly gets dunked. Aubrey plays a tourist who is more interested in checking out the bathing beauties than he is any other sort of scenery. While attempting to flirt with a nursemaid (Estelle Harrison), he falls into the water and is rescued by the reluctant lifeguard (Oliver Hardy). Two crooks try to make their getaway in a motorboat, but their mooring line drags a baby carriage into the ocean. Jimmy leaps onto a whale's back to save the child, but he is swallowed by the whale. He escapes from the whale and saves the baby from an octopus. Just then he wakes up and realizes it was all a dream -- the octopus' tentacles turn out to be a rope. Jimmy tries to flirt with the nursemaid again, but the lifeguard -- who happens to be her sweetheart -- picks him up and tosses him in the water.
