(DVD, Flicker Alley)
Douglas Fairbanks tries to get his name and picture in the newspapers to satisfy the demands of his father-in-law to be. The Prindle family, of which he is the eldest son, are famous vegetarians, portrayed as a bit kooky. Fairbanks purposely tries to distance himself by eating meat and drinking large quantities of beer. Anyway, his attempts at fame are thwarted every time. He drives his jalopy off a cliff, partakes in pugilism and beats up cops in Atlantic City, all to no avail. Only when he saves a train full of people from the Weazel gang does he finally get attention. Fairbanks does a fair amount of zany physical comedy in this enjoyable romp.
