Another funny Keaton’s film full of Chekhov's guns. The unfortunate Frigo finds himself in a situation where he is able to antagonize likely all the cops in the city and he has to flee to find out in a foreign city that he is being wanted for murder. Unfortunately, it can run so well and avoid the problems that have already arisen. The music fits his chase like a glove, and all what the spectator has to do is enjoying all his escapades. The conclusion provides a beautiful icing on the cake and shows how you can make fun of everything.

Plot: Frigo gets into trouble by accidentally by making enemies of the cops and even considering him a wanted killer.

Action: All time moving. The pace is murderous. His rivals are everyone. Escape from one difficult situation to another, even more entangled.

Romance: It seems that Frigo found love, but it is ultimately used to develop humor until the last second.

Comedy: The immense ingenuity of the main character protects him from problems arising from unfortunate coincidences, angry cops or physically stronger rivals.

Conclusion: 9/10. Buster Keaton simply knew how to step up the plot and what situations to put in the film. You will laugh from the beginning to the end.
