In Windbag the Sailor Ben Cutlet (Will Hay) is a sea captain who entrances his bar room audience with tales of his days at sea, even though in reality his maritime experience extends only to navigating a coal barge.
His tall tales catch him out when he is conned into commanding the Rob Roy, an unseaworthy ship, to the West Indies by an gang of criminals who mean to scuttle the ship for the insurance money.
