Al St. John and a group of assorted "baddies" are out to kidnap a beautiful young lady as well as steal her father's valuable papers. First, St. John pelts the old man with flapjacks (knocking him unconscious) and they they drag off the girl--tying her to a log and pushing it through the saw mill. Will the hero rescue her in time or will this good (but dumb) girl be sliced in two?!?!
Al St. John was an old-time comedian who was famous for being the foil in dozens of Fatty Arbuckle movies. After the scandalous trial involving Fatty hit the headlines, his career was in shambles so he changed his name and directed films--and many starred St. John since he was Arbuckle's nephew.
This is a nice old silent comedy that is still funny after more than 80 years. This film is a parody of old Western serials, though the different segments are much shorter and have all been stuck into one film. Each segment is introduced as a separate chapter in this Western adventure. The overall product is very silly but cute and watchable. Not as exciting or funny as many of Arbuckle's own films, but still worth a peek.
