Summary
Pathe synopsis: Here’s touch to summer madness on the high seas. Efficiency and discipline suddenly disappear as a luxury liner cruises towards the Equator and the outlook of peace and relaxation give way when the fabled King Neptune holds court. It’s chaotic fun as passengers and crew join in this light hearted initiation into the "Ancient Order of the Deep" - and there’s no ducking out of it.
