Effete student (Buster Keaton, pictured) tries to prove his masculinity to his burly, steamboat captain father (Ernest Torrence).
Reviewed by Chris Tookey


Not one of Keaton's funniest, despite the famous cyclone finale and a tour de force sequence where, by trying on different hats, Keaton transforms himself into other silent movie stars.
