"Geared To Go" is a fair-to-middling silent picture with lots of action and acrobatics by its star, Reed Howes, as mentioned the "Arrow Collar Man" of the early part of the last century. But despite lots of action and chase scenes the film falls flat and is ultimately not as good as it could have been.
Howes is the scion of a taxi cab empire which is locked in mortal combat with an independent taxi company, conveniently called the Independent Taxi Company. He is one of the Idle Rich but decides to take a stance after he sees some of his Dad's thugs beat up members of the Indys, and leaves home to seek an honest living. He is evidently very athletic and can be seen jumping from moving cars and from building to building during the picture, but the plot is formulaic and predictable. It takes place in a big city but I didn't recognize it - maybe L.A. or Chicago.
"Geared To Go" is not really that good and only of passing interest, but I could recommend it as a conversation piece for movie archaeologists.
