Bless the Ladies (1931)

In this 19 (nineteen) minute Universal short, number 4 in the series with Slim Summerville and Eddie Gribbon as sergeants in the United States Marine Corps, the two leave the barracks to go swimming on the beach. They encounter a small, pompous swimmer (James Mulhauser who, because of his size, they berate and mock. And they keep a running argument between themselves over the attentions of a shapely swimmer named Molly ('Jill Dennett' (qv.)) Returning to their camp, they find the swimmer they mocked awaiting them, but now wearing the uniform of a Marine Corps Major. The camp brig is their next stop.
