This is a good Harold Lloyd comedy, with many funny moments and good gag ideas, featuring Lloyd with frequent supporting players Snub Pollard and Bebe Daniels. This one stands out among the many movies they made together, in offering Daniels a very good role that gives her a chance at times to take the spotlight and even outshine the other two.
The setup has Daniels as a medium, and Lloyd and Pollard as two con men. Daniels's character easily outwits them in a first encounter in a park, but then they meet up again in a much more prolonged battle of wits. These two skirmishes are both quite amusing, and the latter also features some clever visual ideas. The movie starts out just a little slowly in setting things up, but once the characters come together, it moves quickly.
Daniels is even more appealing than usual, and her character gives her more opportunity than usual to compete on equal footing with Lloyd. The part is well-written, and it fits well with her strengths. All of the characters are likable, amoral scamps, but her character is the one with the most depth to it, so it's easy to wish her well.
Lloyd and Pollard, of course, hold up their end nicely, and the result is an enjoyable short comedy with some good material.
