Comment/Synopsis
A shy tailor assistant (Harold Lloyd) who has a stutter tries to publish a book called The Secret of Making Love and falls for a rich woman (Jobyna Ralston) who is about to marry an already married man. This is one of the better feature length Harold Lloyd comedies. Lloyd develops his character and the story well, with comic scenes, fantasy scenes and romance with with elegant and charming Jobyna Ralston. The climax is Lloyd using every possible form of transport rushing to stop Jobyna Ralston from marrying an already married man.
