- TriviaThe U.S. Army had thousands of troops in Russia at the time of this film for several reasons - as part of an Allied force to fight against the Reds in the civil war, to protect military supplies headed for the eastern front, to help operate the Tran-Siberian Railway and to help evacuate the Czechoslovakian Army and transfer them to the Western Front. President Wilson began sending troops there in 1918, but they were all withdrawn by 1920.

Featured review
Here we have Harold Lloyd as an American soldier (Sammy) stationed in Russia during their revolution. The Bolsheviks take over the home of a Russian family and like all villains, they threaten the beautiful girl living there (Bebe Daniels as Olga). Sammy plays the hero, singlehandedly driving the Bolsheviks, who are really cowards, from the premises with some clever fighting and trickery.
Though Sammy is the hero, he is rather buffoonish.
Overall, this short has little to recommend it, compared to Lloyd's best work Still, it offers an unusual setting and premise.
