The second feature is "Windbag the Sailor" with the inimitable Will Hay in the feature role.

He is persuaded to do this by their mistress, Miss Olivia PotterPorter, who is also a partner in a .-diipping line. The manager of the line, V'ates, is planning, unknown to her, to send an unworthy ship heavily insured with a crooked mate and a crew of rogues to scuttle her in mid-pacific.
