The legendary Bob Hope takes to the high seas in this hilarious, Oscar-nominated romantic comedy co-starring Virginia Mayo, Walter Slezak, Walter Brennan and Victor McLaglen!
Sylvester the Great (Hope) is a 17th-century entertainer with an act so atrocious, he´s exiled from England. Aboard a ship bound for America, he finds himself falling for the beautiful Princess Margaret (Mayo), a woman uninterested in love - not to mention his lousy one-liners. But when an evil band of pirates attacks the ship and captures the princess, her only hope is the cowardly comedian. Can Sylvester stop cracking jokes and muster the courage to rescue his royal love? In other words, will he and Margaret end up walking down the aisle... or walking the plank?..
