"This short provides a lot of what I like in a Harold Lloyd film---risky stunts, clever comedy, and an engaging story. Harold is a poor tenant who can't pay his rent, but he gives his few dollars to an attractive neighbor played by Bebe Daniels, landing him in trouble with the landlady and her thuggish enforcer. Harold and Bebe spend the entire film running from everyone, allowing him to display his acrobatic prowess and his imagination. At the end, Lloyd charmingly breaks the fourth wall for a kiss...."
💡 Did You Know?
As is obviously demonstrated in the initial typewriter scene, this film was made early in 1919 before the August 24 accident with a bomb in a photographer's studio that Harold Lloyd mistook for a prop and cost him the thumb and forefinger of his right hand. In every film after this, he always hid his right hand or wore a prosthetic.
