  • Buster Keaton is walking by and peers through a barred window while captured murderer "Dead Shot Dan" is having his picture taken. Seeing that the photographer is looking away, Dan moves his head to the side and snaps a picture of Buster without anybody noticing. Thus, when Dan escapes, the wanted posters all show Buster with his hands on the bars. Unaware, Buster moves on to a street corner, where he notices a horseshoe, and kicks it aside. The next man who comes along picks it up and throws it for good luck. Within seconds the man finds a wallet filled with money. After scrambling to find the horseshoe, Buster picks it up and throws over his shoulder. It strikes a policeman, who chases Buster, and soon other officers join the chase. Buster lures them into the back of a truck, locks them in, and escapes.
    Afterwards, Buster sees a man arguing with a young woman. Buster defends the woman and throws the man to the ground. After walking away, Buster runs into the officers who had chased him earlier. He escapes by hopping onto a train going to a nearby town. Unfortunately for Buster, the town has heard of Dan's escape, and newspapers and wanted posters with Buster's picture are everywhere. The townspeople run from him in terror wherever he goes.
    Buster is once again in the wrong place at the wrong time when the police chief on his patrol is ambushed by a gangster. The gunman's bullets miss the officer, but the smoking gun ends up in Buster's hand. He runs from the persistent police chief, inadvertently causing mischief all over the town. While on the run, Buster encounters the same young woman he assisted earlier, who invites him to dinner. At her home he meets her father-he is the police chief, and he furiously chases Buster all over the apartment complex. After the young woman helps Buster escape, the pair emerge onto the street where Buster observes a sign outside a furniture store that says "You furnish the Girl, we furnish the home!" He carries his date into the store.
    This short contains one of Keaton's more memorable images: A distant, speeding train approaches the camera, and stops with a close-up of Keaton who has been sitting on the front of the train.

    I am 98 years old. I was born 1921 in Brushy Mountains of Western NC. Thank you for sharing this I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this. It really took me back to my youth taking the train to town for 5 cents to the moving pictures and watching these films. How much this old world has changed.

      We are incredibly lucky. Only one of Buster's films is lost, and it's one of his Arbuckle films. Daydreams is an enigma, as people say it's missing parts, but he was only supposed to making two reelers, and with the parts added back, it would be a three reeler. And a few of his others are missing scenes or a few frames. But even with that, we are incredibly lucky to have them all.

  • @TimHollingworth

    As a professional cameraman for the last 30 years I find it very interesting that there are no noticeable camera movements. No camera zooming, no tracking, no panning and no tilting to follow the characters every movement. Everything happens in the fixed frame scene. I did notice one gentle tilt down on the policeman hit with the horse shoe 3:55. A slight pan left to keep the dog action in frame 7:08. And an interesting, but unusual combination of a pan left and tilt down as he gets off the train. (I think the camera person possibly missed Busters first action cue when moving left on the engine to light his cigarette) The only reason to move a camera is to follow the action. Never anticipate it or lag behind it 9:13. Here is the only pan right across the poster 10:32.This expert pan left, to capture the cart stopping, so we can see Buster exit the driving seat 16:53. I nearly missed the pull focus after he bends the key at 20:10. Having said all that it must be very difficult, as the camera operator, to hand crank the film and also follow action.
    If only the majority of CZcams videos could do the same and get a tripod, leave the zoom alone and forget the music track, as now we have sync sound.
    Really enjoyed seeing this masterpiece in colour.

      I agree. I know some people do not like colorized films, but to me a well colorized film gives depth and I see details I never notice before. There are films carefully planned to have a special look in black and white, like Casablanca and A midsommer's night dream, but certain films it adds so much. My man Godfrey there is a great color print. Also Holiday Inn. I would LOVE to see the original "Father of the Bride" with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor done in color. It cries out for color.

    Nowadays , Hollywood spends millions making films look cool, but the story is flat and is missing this charm.
    I am ashamed to admit, but this is one of the first times watching a silent film and discovering Buster Keaton..and I'm in love with the

      He broke 1 bone, it was a vertebrae in his neck and he never even noticed it until he went to a doctor 15 years later who asked where it came from. It happened in the stunt from Sherlock Jr. when he was on top of the train and grabbed the rope from a watertower to escape, when the water poured out it caused him to slip and fall about 20 feet, he hit his neck on the rail. He had a couple shots of whiskey that night, felt better and never thought of it until the doctor asked about it. He lived to 80, he told the story himself in a documentary.
