This was just the second work of Harold Lloyd that I watched and definitely my second pleasant experience. This time Harold plays a common, maybe wealthy boy who enjoys being outside and in consequence his family is always worried. Meanwhile his mother thinks that he is studying he is dancing but also dealing with some problematic situations. So the boy is always in troubles, if not because he is not dancing in a calm way (very funny!) because he arrives home at 2 am. Our story really begins when his family decides that has been enough of having nights of concern and the father sends the boy to the West. There the boy will find only more problematic situations.
This short film is classic stuff so there, in the West, they boy will meet a girl who has a big problem and who will end with him. This is funny, first because Lloyd is a New York City boy and he will try to impress the girl by imitating the ones of the West. Is also funny because Lloyd wants to be the smart one by tricking first the girl and later some men, who are playing with him a cards game, and his "plans" almost are successful in both cases however he never impressed the girl (in his second attempt the things are even worst!) and he ends losing in the cards game. So how is that the boy ends with the girl, in that marvelous last sequence? Well, of course the boy helped her with that problem by facing the crazy town villain and after that we watch some more really fun stuff. Lloyd knows how to hide behind the persons and that will help when he needs to "fight" against many!
