    Well paced and with good comic situations.
    Charley Chase was the most popular comedian for Hal Roach during the release of "Bad Boy." The above short was released in 1925, is 18 minutes long and contains some quite funny comic situations. Chase is someone who needs to prove to his father that he can be just as much of a man as the factory workers who are employed by his father. Charley's efforts to assert his masculinity don't exactly go according to plan! Noah Yong (who supported Laurel and Hardy and Harold Lloyd) makes a welcome appearance as the comic heavy who has a showdown with our Charley.
