Though only the second half survives, here’s a synopsis of what’s left: Stan is a Robin Hood-type character in a medieval walled town. He’s chased by an army of knights, but both he and his pursuers ride music-hall half-horse costumes in lieu of real steads. He proceeds to fight, Fairbanks-like, dozens of swordsmen at once, and defeats his rival one-on-one, leaving him to marry the princess in a state ceremony.

Viewing Notes
This was originally a two-reeler but the first reel is lost, so we get a synopsis of the first reel as an introductory intertitle and then the second reel. I’d love to see the first reel because the second one is great. This is a goofy fantasy featuring Laurel as a knight attempting to rescue a princess, but with some modern things thrown in like bowler hats, etc.
