In this sublime comedy teetering between reality and illusion, Buster Keaton stars as a film projectionist who dreams of
becoming a detective. He uses his limited skills when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocket
watch. Keaton reportedly broke his neck performing one of the many dangerous practical stunts in the film.
