Story
Harold Lloyd is one of the three kings of comedy, standing alongside Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Many of his films feature the familiar boater hats and celluloid round eyeglasses (Lloyd's glasses).
The story involves Harold being late for an amateur drama performance, making Mildred furious. Prompted by a phone call, Harold rushes to the theater, but faces difficulties from the moment that his car leaves the garage. First he reverses and destroys the garden next door, then he has engine trouble and is chased by the police, before finally arriving at the theater when the play is already over.
During the encore, he hurries to change into the costume of a masked swordsman and stands on the stage...
This film by director Hal Roach is often found in Pathe-Baby versions re-edited for home use, along with many other Lloyd films.
