In the last 2-reeler featuring the late Shemp Howard, The Three Stooges play aspiring reporters who end up as stowaways. Howard, who had died in November of 1955, was doubled in a few scenes by veteran Stooges player Joe Palma. A remake of Dunked in the Deep (1949), Commotion in the Ocean used stock footage from that comedy as well as Crime on Their Hands (1948) and Harry Von Zell's So's Your Antenna (1946).
