A young street orphan, Buttons, gets a job as a pageboy on an ocean liner. He and his friend, Slugger, get on the wrong side of the ship's captain, however, when they try to tell him his wife, who is aboard the ship, is cheating on him. The captain throws them both in the brig, and their troubles get even more complicated when the ship is wrecked at sea and is in danger of sinking.—[email protected]
