A favorite of mine. It's about a young wealthy heir named Rollo Treadway ["A proof that every family tree must have it's sap"-from the movie] who decides to marry his sweetheart Betsy and sail to Honolulu, but when she rejects him he decides to go alone. However, in a series of fantastic but logical plot convolutions, he boards the wrong ship, the "Navigator", an abandon passenger ship owned by Betsy's father. Unaware of this, Betsy boards the ship to look for her father, but spies have already captured him before cutting the ship loose. It drifts out to sea with the two helpless socialites, each unaware of there being anyone else on board. Once discovering one another, the pampered cast-aways must learn the hard way how to to provide for themselves. A hilarious movie full of Buster Keaton's witty and creative comedic talent. Anyway, it's available for viewing on youtube, so you'll be wanting to do that sometime when you have an hour to kill.
