That "Seeing the World" is a very bad film, plus the print - I felt sorry for Finlayson practically working alone with nothing funny to do - He made every face in the book in this one.!!

Plot

The gang's teacher (James Finlayson) is trying to win a trip to Europe. He does win, but the gang accompanies him as well, which causes his trip to become a nightmare. The group treks through Venice, Rome, Pompeii, Naples, and London. Finally, the entourage ends up in Paris, where Farina tries to retrieve her lost tooth stolen by a pigeon on the railings of the Eiffel Tower. Both Farina and Finlayson, who tries to rescue her, manage to fall off the side, presumably to their doom. Fortunately, as it turns out, he awakes; the whole adventure was a dream, from a sleep caused by the gang tossing sleeping potion into his water.
