while this isn not an all time classic comedy it be a pretty good little movie to watch if you catch it on a rainy saturday morning with not a lot else go on right then . harold lloyd play ezekiel cobb and an american come home after grow up in china where his dad be a missionary . he have come home from china to find an american wife and plan to return to china to continue his father work . cobb unwittingly be recruit to run for mayor of his corrupt home town when the exist political machine that control the town realize that he would make a perfect patsy to run against the current mayor who also be the head of the town underworld . they figure the bumbling and stumble cobb have no chance to win and therefore the current mayor continue to run the town and run his scheme which make them all rich . lloyd isn not do the physical comedy here like he do in his silent film . he do a convince portrayal of cobb with a reserve understated dignity . the acting be good from all involve and the story and script be also quite good . be make in 1934 the film do have some rather racist language when talk about the chinese and it also have a typical black character from that era but these stereotype aren not nearly as mean a i have see from other film from that time . although not close to be lloyd best film and this movie do entertain and lloyd be very good a cobb . you would not be blow away by this film but it may be enough to peak your interest in lloyd and make you want to see more of his work .
