“The Love Nest” is a 1923 American silent short comedy film written, directed by, and starring Buster Keaton. It was the final short film produced by Buster Keaton Productions before he transitioned to feature-length films. The story follows a heartbroken young man who sets sail on his small boat, "Cupid," to escape his lost love. However, he soon encounters a whaling ship, "The Love Nest," captained by a ruthless leader who throws crew members overboard for the slightest mistake. Keaton, now part of the crew, must navigate the dangers of life at sea while trying to escape his predicament. The film is known for its clever physical comedy and Keaton’s signature deadpan humor.
