The Love Nest is a 1923 American short comedy silent film written and directed by and starring Buster Keaton. It is his 19th and final film at Buster Keaton Productions and last silent short film.
In order to escape from his life and his lost love, Keaton sets off on his small boat, Cupid, but runs into the whaling ship, The Love Nest. The whaler's merciless captain throws crew members overboard for even the slightest offense.
After his steward accidentally pours hot tea over the captain's hand, the captain tosses him overboard and replaces him with Keaton. Despite a series of mishaps, Keaton manages to avoid the fate of other crewmen.
But Keaton desires to escape, and chops a hole in the hull to sink the boat. He escapes in a lifeboat with no idea where land is.
He docks at the rear of a platform he is unaware is a target bullseye for naval gunnery practice. The Navy scores a direct hit and Keaton is seen hurtled skyward; angel-wing style.
Keaton then wakes up in his own boat; which had never left the dock. The whole thing had been a dream.
