Luke Joins the Navy
The beginning of the film you find Harold Lloyd playing his "Lonesome Luke" character. Out of the blue, Lloyd decides he's going to join the navy and you really wonder if part of the film leading to it is missing. After all, the decision seemed to come from no where and why Snub Pollard would also join is unclear. And, oddly, they seem to skip all training and are stationed on a navy ship. Soon Pollard's wife comes to the boat looking for him and she's put off the boat as the movie ends very, very anticlimactically.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The short film constructs its premise on Luke's abrupt, unexplained decision to enlist, relying heavily on Harold Lloyd's manic screen presence. The narrative feels fragmented, jumping from one gag to the next with little connective tissue.
What lingers after the viewing is a sense of an incomplete idea, a series of comedic bits in search of a proper story. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Hal Roach
Best Watched
As a curious artifact of silent film comedy, best enjoyed with modest expectations.
