El gordo y el flaco

Stan and Ollie join the Foreign Legion so Ollie can forget an unhappy romance.

The boys get jobs as a butler and maid for a dinner party at the Vandevere's; after that ends in disaster, they're reduced to sweeping streets, and accidentally capture a bank robber; the bank president sends them to Oxford for a proper education.

After working in the horn factory, the sound of one drives Oliver into a violent fit; Dr. Finlayson prescribes a long, restful sea voyage, so Stan and Oliver rent a boat and set sail, unaware that escaped killer Nick Grainger has stowed away onboard.

Heading for a newly inherited island, the boys are shipwrecked and marooned on an atoll which has just emerged from the sea; along with their cook, a stowaway and a girl who is fleeing her fiancé, they set up their own government on the atoll.
