"Time Out for Trouble" is one of the dumber comedy shorts that Charley Chase made for Columbia Pictures. The plot occasionally makes no sense at all and it really looks as if the script wasn't quite ready for filming.
When the film begins, Charley saves a woman's life by grabbing her. However, some idiot snapped a picture and ran it in the newspaper-- and makes it look like Charley is a lady-killer--which enrages his fiancée. She breaks it off with him without allowing him to explain at all and he spends the rest of the film trying to kill himself. Later, when she's learned the truth, it might just be too late to stop Charley's criminal friends from killing him...as they want to do him a favor.
As I said above, the plot seems to have some holes. Why wouldn't the fiancée let him explain himself? Why resort to killing yourself? Why capture the people trying to kill you and then run away....which would allow them to eventually catch you and kill you. Duh.
