Any Port in a Storm
Instrueret af William BowmanTwo old sea captains, Captain Judd and his friend, Captain Silas, are retired from active service and spend their contented days spinning yarns, smokin' and chawin'. Miss Sally Snooks is an old maid who sings love songs to the thrum of her guitar. Her sweet young niece Salina comes to visit her. Everybody falls in love with Salina, especially Captain Judd and Jack, a handsome young sailor. The captain coaxes his shipmate Silas to propose marriage to his daughter Jessie, hope that will encourage her to marry her sweetheart Ben; then Judd himself will be free to make love to Salina. Jessie overhears the old men plotting and decides to foil them in a counterplot. When Silas proposes to Jessie, she accepts him--much to his misery and surprise. Judd addresses a note of proposal to Salina, for now that Jessie is engaged he is free; this note the two girls re-direct and send to the old maid, Sally, who gladly accepts the marriage offer. Judd and Silas are now in the same boat, engaged to women they don't want, and each takes similar methods to get out of deep water. Judd bribes "Peg-Leg" Dick to marry Sally, and Silas generously bribes Ben to propose to Jessie. Meanwhile, Salina has become engaged to Jack. With these six disposed of, the two old captains meet again at their favorite spot on the beach, and in their snug harbor they chuckle contentedly.
