At a seaside resort, mashers move in on Miss Fatty, the moth ball magnate’s lovely daughter (Roscoe Arbuckle). The lure of the sea strong in her, Miss Fatty heeds the ocean’s siren song; When the tide comes in she finds herself adrift at sea, a helpless castaway. A daring rescue effort is launched- Even the surf cops show up!
This digital copy of the film was sourced from Kartes Video's 1984 VHS compilation ''The Original Keystone Comedies, Volume Five". The other films on the videotape are Court House Crooks (1915) and Love, Loot and Crash (1915).
Transfer completed using Magix's Video Saver hardware at a pixel resolution of 480 x 320*, at 30 fps, using YUY2 color space / compression. Speed was then corrected and final video was rendered at UHD resolution at 30 fps.
*Why capture at this small resolution? Well, that's the only way I was able to capture it using the Magix Software; Every other resolution option within the software suite would not record video. I've tried toggling and toying with everything, and have sat through the tape around a dozen times. Apart from this, I've had very few issues with the software, but, yeah-- this was a huge hassle!
