Great start, but gets a little dull

'The Live Ghost' is a nice comedy short from Laurel & Hardy. They become sailors on a ship that is known as a haunted ship. For certain reasons they are not very loved by the other sailors, but as long as they are on the ship they are protected by the Captain. When the other sailors leave the ship Laurel and Hardy stay right where they are. Because they do that they have to watch one of the sailors who is always drunk and make sure that he will stay on board with them. Of course that doesn't go as planned. The drunken sailor leaves the ship and returns after Laurel thinks he has shot the sailor while laying in his bed. Of course the drunken man is mistaken for a ghost.

This comedy short starts great. The way Laurel & Hardy make sure that every single sailor will get on board the ship is hilarious. The scenes on the ship have their moments and gave me some smiles, but with a start this good it was a little disappointing. Still, a nice comedy short.
