The Love Nest is a 1923 American short comedy silent film written and directed by and starring Buster Keaton.

The whaler's merciless captain throws crew members overboard for even the slightest offense.

But Keaton desires to escape, and chops a hole in the hull to sink the boat.

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.
