8/10
Clever and better than the average Keystone comedy.
13 September 2012
The plot to this Keystone comedy is a little more complicated and complex than usual. Instead of people kicking each other in the butt or bonking each other on the head, this one has a plot that is timeless. The District Attorney (Ford Sterling) is fooling around with a judge's wife (Minta Durfee). However, an innocent young man (Harold Lloyd) just happens to walk into the middle of this. He has no idea WHAT is going on and is assumed by the Judge to be a criminal. Can the innocent man somehow extricate himself or will be go to prison for the DA's actions?

The film is not full of huge laughs but funny situations instead. It is fun, entertaining and much more interesting than usual. The only problem I saw, and it's a minor one, is that the message flashed on the mirror was BACKWARDS--or at least it should have been. Think about it....
