this plot pack and enjoyable but and ultimately and minor harold lloyd short gain some unexpected notoriety when the great comedian be seriously injure in an explosion during a publicity stunt for the film which cost him the loss of two finger and necessitate the installation of prosthetics . it start off with frequent lloyd co star ( and future wife ) mildred davis inherit an estate on the condition that she marry and that she stay on the premise for a whole year . soon and her greedy relatives begin to scheme how to drive her out but and first and her lawyer determines to find her a husband opting and naturally and on harold ( once again suicidal over a failed romance ) . this first half provide the film with many of it best moment and a the latter section relocate to mississippi mainly resort to some crude racist humor and overly familiar ghostly amanifestations . this be my third time view the film the first a an extra on image dvd of the silent version of the cat and the canary ( 1927 ) and the second on tcm and a part of a harold lloyd marathon in anticipation of the release of this same 7 disc collection and when i be in hollywood late last year while actually and i like it well this time around and hence i up the rating from half ( besides and back then and i wasn not a familiar with the star short film a i be now ) .
