The Live Ghost
The Live Ghost is a 1934 American comedy short film starring Laurel and Hardy, directed by Charles Rogers, and produced by Hal Roach at his studios in Culver City, California.
Plot
A sea captain grapples with the impediment of recruiting sailors owing to his vessel's ill-reputed status as haunted, which dissuades potential enlistment. A fortuitous encounter unfolds as the captain intersects with Stan and Ollie during a tranquil fishing outing. Despite the captain's entreaties, Stan and Ollie demur from maritime service, attributing their reluctance to an aversion towards the ocean, predicated upon its purportedly shark-infested waters.
