Featured review
Harold Lloyd at this best is extremely funny. But in this short, the comic elements are mostly silly.
He takes a job selling shoes in a department store so he can be near an attractive woman (Bebe Daniels). Most of what follows never rises to the level of his best work. The physical stunts are moderately challenging and moderately funny. The degree of invention in his stunts, likewise, is mostly average.
He does stretch the bounds of reality by revealing that the main window in the store has no glass. Later he builds on that premise and tricks a gang of ruffians with a routine that takes perfect timing.
