Jeffrey Haywood wants to marry to Virginia Embrey. However, Virginia refused to marry unless her older sister, the hard-to-please Angelica gets married first. Angelica, in turn, finds every man she knows too dull and predictable, and for this reason prefers to stay single. Jeff then tries to make Angelica interested in the mild-mannered and timid Reggie Irving passing him off as a notorious playboy to intrigue her. He asks his friend Polly to teach Reggie “how to treat a woman right”, but he turns to be a disastrous learner.

Viewing Notes
Another flick off that comedy set I got from the library (has 5 films on 1 DVD) and the second Buster Keaton flick. I’m just not into Keaton’s post-silent film work. The slapstick and gags only half work and the movie really isn’t that funny without them (and it’s supposed to be a comedy). Jokes are just flat.
