User Reviews

Released December 15th 1915

Although regarded as the first of the 'Lonesome Luke' series, it was still part of the 'Phunphilms' series.

This episode would definitely appeal to a select urban audience. The fact that our hero (Lloyd) is up against roughnecks (a common feature in 1980's urban society) would be enough to sway someone 70+ years after the release date.
