Douglas Fairbanks brings youthful athleticism and infectious good humour to a manic comedy that is something of a forerunner of the screwball comedies that were so popular in the 1930s. He's trying to elope with 18-year-old Constance Talmadge, but fate, a disapproving father and a jealous love rival keep throwing seemingly insurmountable obstacles in his direction, all of which he deftly sidesteps with wit and ingenuity. The 46 minute runtime flies by thanks to the breakneck pace, but while Fairbanks makes an engaging hero, one can't help wondering what magic Keaton or Lloyd would have conjured out of such a scenario.
