航海家

和同期卓别林、劳埃德的喜剧相比，《航海家》的幽默不靠社会讽喻或惊险攀爬，而是将巴斯特·基顿的冷面与巨型机械空间捆绑。凯瑟琳·麦奎尔扮演的女主角不拖后腿，两人从互嫌弃到联手拆解危机的化学反应自然有趣。凯瑟琳·麦奎尔饰演的女主并非花瓶，她与基顿之间“你追我赶”的错位默契，让单线逃亡变成双人节奏博弈。叙事几乎完全依赖物理逻辑推进：场景转换不靠字幕，而是依靠角色在船体上下层间的垂直运动与意外连锁反应。所有笑点都贴着剧情长出来的，没有硬煽情。凯瑟琳·麦奎尔演的富家小姐从惊慌到主动帮忙，和基顿的互动带着生涩的可爱。

Wealthy Rollo Treadway (Buster Keaton) suddenly decides to propose to his neighbor across the street, Betsy O'Brien (Kathryn McGuire), and sends his servant to book passage for a honeymoon sea cruise to Honolulu. When Betsy rejects his sudden offer however, he decides to go on the trip anyway, boarding without delay that night. Because the pier number is partially covered, he ends up on the wrong ship, the Navigator, which Betsy's rich father (Frederick Vroom) has just sold to a small country at war.　　Agents for the other small nation in the conflict decide to set the ship adrift that same night. When Betsy's father checks up on the ship, he is captured and tied up by the saboteurs. Betsy hears his cry for help and boards the ship to look for him, just before it is cut loose.　　The Navigator drifts out into the Pacific Ocean. The two unwitting passengers eventually find each other. At first, they have great difficulty looking after themselves, but adapt after a few weeks. At one point, they sight a navy ship and hoist a brightly-colored flag, not realizing it signals that the ship is under quarantine. As a result, the other vessel turns away.　　Finally, the ship grounds itself near an inhabited tropical island and springs a leak. While Rollo dons a deep sea diving suit and submerges to patch the hole, the black natives canoe out and take Betsy captive. When Rollo emerges from the ocean, the natives are scared off, enabling him to rescue Betsy and take her back to the ship. The natives return and try to board the ship. After a fierce struggle, Rollo and Betsy try to escape in a small dinghy. It starts to sink, and the natives swiftly overtake them in their canoes. Just when all seems lost, a navy submarine surfaces right underneath them and they are saved.
