★★★ · On to the next pratfall. · Spuzz · 2020-04-11

An ok silent movie here, sort of split into two parts. Apparently rich but living poor fellow runs from the cops, and same fellow runs from the father and maybe other suitor? of a woman he's interested in. There's not a lot here that makes sense, and things just come and go. Ovey is an ok actor I suppose, but this needs to be more tighter.
