A nearly perfect two-reel comedy that showcases Harold Lloyd’s originality and talents. Here, he is a penniless and hungry young man who tries to save an heiress from kidnappers and help her secure her inheritance. Exuberant chases abound …

Dir: Harold LLoyd, USA, 22 mins, 1919

Programme Notes

“One of the more enjoyable Harold Lloyd slapstick comedies” Dennis Schwartz, Ozu’s World

Comments

  • Lovely intertitles from H M Walker but otherwise just a vehicle for the staged comic chases
  • Very good but not one of Lloyd’s best
