Hollywood made a lot of comedy shorts involving the military. And, in many cases, the stars of these shorts are utterly ridiculous as soldiers or sailors. The worst is probably "Great Guns" with Laurel & Hardy as Hardy is in his 50s and weighed about 350 pounds! In "Sailors Beware!" it's not quite that bad but Walter Catlett and rotund Eugene Pallette were both in their mid-40s! My advice is just turn off your brain and enjoy the films...that definitely worked with "Sailors Beware!".
Jonesy and Smitty (Pallette and Catlett) are both on leave along with a lot of other sailors. A gang of crooks is looking for a sailor with an anchor tattoo because they heard he has a lottery ticket worth $100,000....and they vow to steal it. But anchor tattoos are among the most common in the Navy and the gang keep beating up sailors and stripping them....looking for the tattoo! Well, Jonesy has one just like it and the lady gang member is very intent on ripping his clothes off....and, strangely, Jonesy wants nothing to do with it!
Apparently Catlett and Pallette made several shorts together but this is the only one I could find on YouTube. It's clever and funny despite a few dud gags here and there (especially the part where Pallette spits BBs)....but overall it's quite enjoyable.
