In the final days of WWII, an earnest but somewhat dense sailor
(played
by Keaton) is lost at sea. Months later, he makes a landing, but,
not realizing that the war is over and thinking that he is in Japan,
he surrenders to Mexican police, who mistake him for a serial
killer.
Thrown in a jail cell with an American thug, he is to be hanged next
morning, when suddenly a rocket scientist offers him and his
cellmate
a chance to avoid execution if they pilot an experimental atomic
rocket
to the Moon.
Once you get past the horrible dubbing of this film you can enjoy
some wonderful moments with Keaton and some great sight gags. 69
Minutes
