Directed by Larry Semon, James D. Davis

Overview

The storm, which takes up most of the second reel, is a trial run for the storm sequence in The Wizard Of Oz which Semon would make in 1925.  Fox released a comedy that was an exact copy of Lightning Love just before the Semon film was due to come out.  Albert E. Smith noticed the similarities and on September 5, 1923 attempted to have the Fox film pulled from the exhibitors.
