A young, love-struck millionaire (Harold Lloyd) is smitten by a prudent young woman (Mildred Davis) right before he makes the most important decision of his life. He joins the Navy, in part to improve his standing with his love's spit-and-polish man of a father (Noah Young). When she is kidnapped by a sadistic maharajah, the inexperienced hero leaps into action to save his bride to be from peril. The maharajah's minions have other ideas, however, and the young officer's toughness is tested.

David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an erratic yet mostly entertaining comedy that benefits from Lloyd’s completely captivating and often hilarious performance... Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 10, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Plenty of pratfalls and sight gags keep this Harold Lloyd first feature-length film afloat. Rated: B- Jun 16, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Immense fun and a real good omen for the Harold Lloyd silent features to follow. A great gag laden comedy with romance, an unlikely friendship and a fun packed finale. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Inconsistent, but it has it's very funny moments. Certainly the weakest Lloyd film (short or feature) I've seen to date Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
