Plot

A New Yorker fights to save the last horse-drawn streetcar in the city, with scenes shot on location in 1920s New York.

Sinekatalog’s take

Harold Lloyd's last great silent follows a New Yorker saving the last horse-drawn streetcar, with Babe Ruth cameo. Energetic, funny and filled with 1928 New York location work, it is a joyous, fast-paced comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
