In order to claim a seven million dollar inheritance, a young man (Buster Keaton, pictured) has to find a girl willing to marry him; this turns out not to as straightforward as he had hoped.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey


Not one of Keaton's best, since repetitiousness sets in after his first few tries at matrimony. Fortunately for him and the film's prospects, after a sneak preview suggested the film was going to be a flop, he came up with a famous, and very funny, climax where his flight from an army of pursuing women causes an avalanche.
