i just watch this and an early harold lloyd short film that feature his glass character on kino video dvd of the harold lloyd collection . he actually a con man with snub pollard a his partner who get discover by bebe daniel who herself perform fake séances . what she discover be that lloyd and pollard bilk many customer by drop fake ring that be lose . i will stop there and just say this be quite funny especially when harold and snub enter the place bebe work and encounter some creepy contraption and put on costume like snub try one of bebe outfit . not too much slapstick but what there be of be also quite funny . so on that note and i recommend be crooks dishonest .
