It was Lloyd's last short film, running to three reels, before he moved permanently into feature-length production. It was also one of his trademark 'thrill' comedies, featuring him dangling from a tall building. In this film, Harold works in an office on a tall building next door to his girlfriend Mildred (Mildred Davis). He assumes they will be married, but overhears her talking to a man who says to her, "Of course I will marry you." Little does he know this is actually her big brother, who has just become a priest.

* [[Bungled Suicide]]: Harold tries to drink poison, but first decides it tastes too gross so he adds sugar, then, distracted by a loose button on his vest, he spills the poison. He then chickens out of jumping from the window, and tries setting up a gun by tying the trigger to a door knob. Of course instead, a light bulb falls and breaks making him think he's been shot, and a steel girder carries him away.

* [[Construction Zone Calamity]]: Possibly the [[Trope Maker]]; if not, its the [[Trope Codifier]].
