Saps at Sea
''Saps at Sea'' is a 1940 American film directed by Gordon Douglas, distributed by United Artists, and Laurel and Hardy's last film produced by Hal Roach Studio.
== Plot ==
Stan and Ollie work in a horn factory, where Hardy is already under stress from all the incessant noise. One worker (Eddie Borden) has already gone insane and is the latest casualty of the work environment. Ollie is sent home after developing "hornophobia" and starts going crazy each time he hears horns or horn-based musical instruments. A physician (Jimmy Finlayson) is called to treat Ollie and, warning Ollie that he could develop a more serious condition, "hornomania," he prescribes a relaxing boat trip and goat's milk. Ollie dismisses the idea because he is afraid to sail on the ocean, but Stan prescribes an alternative: they will simply rent a boat and keep it attached to the dock, getting all the sea air they can while never actually going out to sea. When Stan's trombone teacher (Eddie Conrad) arrives and Ollie, returning from a fight with the janitor (Ben Turpin) who messed up the plumbing, hears the music, goes berserk and throws the teacher out, he knows he should take that advice. Phoning the hotel manager to complain why that teacher was allowed in, Hardy is accidentally knocked out the window and into the street.
Stan and Ollie rent an unseaworthy boat called ''Prickly Heat'' that is supposed to stay moored to the dock. Later that night an escaped murderer named Nick Grainger (Richard Cramer) stows away on the boat to avoid being caught by the police. The goat which they have brought to provide milk (but which is evidently just a billy goat, since it has big long horns, and is referred to as "he") chews away at the docking line, and the boat drifts out to sea. The next day Nick confronts Stan and Ollie with a gun (which he affectionately names "Nick Jr.") and tells them to make him breakfast. They have no food on board, so they decide to prepare Nick a "synthetic" breakfast made up of string, soap and whatever else they can find. Nick spies on them and realizes what they are up to, and forces them to eat the fake food. Stan becomes inspired and starts to play his trombone and Ollie starts to go crazy and overcomes the criminal. In fact, a few times Laurel pauses to catch his breath and it starts to smoke out of the trombone and Hardy has to call to him to resume, to maintain his animal rage until he finally knocks Nick out cold.
When the police eventually arrive in another boat to take Nick into custody, Laurel demonstrates to them how he got Hardy powered up—by playing the mangled trombone. The result: Hardy again flies into a blind horn-induced rage and mindlessly assaults one of the cops, the boys get arrested, also, and they are thrown into jail in the same cell that Nick is in. The audience is left to imagine what assorted horrors await the boys when the vengeful Nick regains consciousness.
