Girl Shy
A lighthearted silent-era romantic comedy built on physical comedy and earnest charm, where a stammering tailor races against time to save his beloved from a disastrous marriage.
Harold Meadows is a shy, stuttering bachelor working in a tailor shop, who is writing a guidebook, The Secret of Making Love, for other bashful young men. Fate has him meet rich girl Mary, and they fall in love. But she is about to wed an already married man, so our hero embarks upon a hair-raising daredevil ride to prevent the wedding.
