The premise of this Harold Lloyd film is simple. Harold is late for a theater engagement where he's supposed to be playing a character in a local stage production. On his way to the theater, he's sidetracked by the many mishaps that befall him and his car. Sight gags abound before Harold can even get his car out of the garage. When he finally does, it's an unexpected delight. Of course there are other mishaps along the way, and Harold runs into little Ernest Morrison from the Our Gang comedies who pesters Harold with his dog as Harold attempts to fix his car on the side of a road. Perhaps a bizarre scene, although funny, is when Harold takes an injectable syringe from a street addict and uses it to rejuvenate his car. It works and of course Harold ends up chasing and catching up to his car not once but twice. In the end, Harold rushes on stage just in time to take credit for the performance that his stand-in gave in his absence. This is a typical Harold Lloyd film, funny with a lot of sight gags. **1/2 of 4 stars.
