Description

Triple bill of silent comedies directed by and starring Buster Keaton. In 'The Navigator' (1924) Buster Keaton and Kathryn McGuire play two foolish rich kids who become lost at sea aboard a deserted ocean liner. When the liner runs aground on an island they are pursued by cannibals and must flee.

In 'Seven Chances' (1925) a man is desperate to find a bride to marry before the end of the day in order to inherit a massive fortune. Finally, in 'Battling Butler' (1926), a case of mistaken identity results in a feeble man entering the boxing ring in order to impress the girl of his dreams.
