Sailor's Holiday (1929 film)

Sailor's Holiday is a 1929 American pre-Code sound comedy film directed by Fred C. Newmeyer and produced and distributed by Pathé Exchange. The film was also released in a silent version.

Plot

Based upon a review in a film magazine, the Captain of a battleship calls the crew aft to the fantail to announce their shore leave, with the mischievous sailors Adam Pike and Shorty looking forward to spending time at a Pacific amusement park, trying to avoid their nemesis, a boatswain's mate. They meet Molly Jones, who is looking for her brother, but after they also see a professional crier pulling the same gag, the boys think that Molly is also a phony. Adom has brought along his parrot. The bird is responsible for a rumpus in a restaurant that causes Molly to be taken as a pickpocket, although it is the two boys who have innocently pulled the pinch on the bos'n in one of their countless tricks in eluding him. Taking a taxi, they cruise around while Shorty watches the meter, knowing he has no cash in his pocket. Later the bos'n is found to be Sally's missing brother, and they end up in Mrs. Pike's diner for a fine home cooked meal.
