This isn't a very deep film, but it's funny and well-paced and gives viewers a chance to see the humor of Charlie Chase--a comic who is relatively unknown today.
Charlie is the son of a rich man who owns a local factory. He and his workers are all a macho lot--sort of like a business that hires nothing but guys like Bluto from the Popeye cartoons! Well, Charlie has just graduated college and Dad expects him to work his way up through the business. However, Charlie is the epitome of a 98 pound weakling and is way out of his league. However, late in the film he is able to prove himself to be little but tough--to Dad's amazement and pleasure.
While this isn't the best Chase film, it's cute fun and worth seeing. Kids especially should appreciate all the slapstick.
