Safety Last!
You're Going to Explode With "Safety Laughs" when You see This Fun Bomb.
A gleefully inventive silent comedy that builds genuine suspense from a store clerk's death-defying climb up a skyscraper, balancing physical comedy with real peril.
When a store clerk organizes a contest to climb the outside of a tall building, circumstances force him to make the perilous climb himself.
