A hilarious Buster Keaton comedy short. Buster is down on his luck, things get even worse for him when he is pursued by the police. Things get even even worse when notorious murderer Dead Shot Dan (Malcolm St Clair) escapes prison and, due to an unfortunate mix-up, Buster's face appears on the wanted posters!
Buster seeks refuge with Virginia Fox, and she takes him home. There is just one problem, she is the police chief's (Joe Roberts) daughter!
A series of very funny comedy scenes and plenty of slap stick and visual gags. Intelligence and a dose of surrealism elevates this above most comedies. The work of a genius (of course!)
