As far as I know, only the last part of this film exists i a 9.5m Pathé-Baby version re-titled Il était un petit navire. Snub has been invited to launch a ship and so sensible is he of the honour that, when the ship decides to leave of its own accord he follows it doggedly along with the champagne bottle which, unbeknownst to him, the villain has filled with explosive. A rather good Pollard comedy.
The attribution here is doubtful. It may have been directed by William Watson. Note that another good Watson film of this period with Snub, The Green Cat (5 August 1923), does not appear at all on IMDb. Snub here plays the owner of a luxury restaurant that is due to open (Mosquini is the wife) and he resists the blandishments of an irksome insurance salesman...until disasters begin to multiply and, amidst the mounting flames, he decides that insurance might be a good idea after all.
This film is available in an unusually extended (three-reel) Pathescope version.
