Nine adventurous thrill-seeking young men in tight leather suits share a cramped spaceship for months. Right - love the kinky Warholish story idea, and its social commentary. Shame the commentary is never developed, and ruined by 19th-century grand stage-style cornball acting.

While in hot pursuit of conspicuous leisure, a delusional elite spots a bottle trashed in the sea. For no apparent reason, he takes it home and struggles to get to the urgent message he has convinced himself is inside (not wanting to simply break the valuable trashy bottle). He claims the bottle contained an urgent message (although its pedantry seems quite incongruent with the circumstances under which it was purportedly written). The message tells of “unbelievable treasures” and a gold mine “which appears to be inexhaustible” (claims that modern viewers will be familiar with from their encounters with the bottle's cyber-twin: scam spam). When he spins this tale to his fellow elites at Club Inbreeders, it gets picked up by an agent of a diabolical gullible mastermind, and leads to an intensely silly spectacle of competing blundering murderous international thieves - with one posing as White Savior - that modern viewers will be familiar with from their encounters with its political-twin: the new “Cold War”.

When a girl learns that some of her family's property has been bogarted, she bids farewell to Phys Ed, paints a mustache over her powder and rouge, and promptly kills a dozen or so men, thus giving her the confidence to tell her Pops that she will avenge for him. But Pops mistakes her for his son - the one with makeup and a cute smile - so he has his doubts. But that cute smile wins him over and she leads a crew of men to success, but works up a bit of an oh-dear oh-dear, so Pops suggested the men give his cute son a bath. Getting interesting? Too bad the clip ends there. Fairbanks never looked this cute.
