Line 10:
* [[Dodgy Toupee]]
* [[Excited Show Title]]
* [[Fake -Out Opening]]: This was a regular gag for Lloyd.
* [[Greedy Jew]]: Harold buys a chain for his girlfriend from a shifty jeweller with a hooked nose called Silverstein, who constantly wrings his hands in avarice (the accompanying musician(s) shift into Klezmer-type music here, just so we get the point). Harold, embarrassed, starts imitating the man's hand-wringing. The joke is still amusing to modern audiences, because of the added irony of knowing that [[N -Word Privileges|Harold Lloyd himself is Jewish]].
* [[Happy Ending]]: As was typical for Lloyd.
* [[Iris Out]]
* [[Literal Cliff Hanger]]: Takes up most of the third act. Dangling from the clock and other portions of the department store building wasn't quite as dangerous as it looked; clever camera work disguised the fact that there was a rooftop underneath Lloyd.
* [[Maintain the Lie]]
* [[Pun -Based Title]]
* [[Romance On the Set]]: Lloyd and Mildred Davis got married right after completing this film.
* [[Roof Hopping]]
