....well, anything. And everything. People are a constant mystery to him. Not that he's been paying attention, but still. People are strange things, and so are non-people. Harry can get into discussions with inanimate objects with as much personal satisfaction as with people -- more, I would imagine, since he has a chance of outarguing them. Not a certainty, of course....
Harry plays a World War One prisoner of war who escapes from the Germans on Armistice Day -- they were busy celebrating something and he took his opportunity. He wanders into Bomania -- wherever that may be, but it's all the same to Harry -- where he is an exact double for the King. So Harry plays a clueless Prisoner of Zenda.
There are some lovely gag sequences built into this short: Harry gets into an argument with a cow and blows it up into rib roasts -- sure to infuriate any PETA members in the neighborhood. He loses an argument with a suit of armor. Gorgeous Natalie Kingston plays the Queen and there is a very sweet-tempered happy ending.
Langdon's career was riding high at this point and he was about to make two excellent features: THE STRONG MAN and TRAMP TRAMP TRAMP. His screen persona, the elfin-faced naif, is not to everyone's taste and may not be to yours. Take a look at this top notch short subject and see if you like him.
