45 Minutes from Hollywood
A lighthearted silent-era comedy built on mistaken identity and slapstick confusion, where a visitor's naïveté about Hollywood creates comedic chaos.
A young man visiting Hollywood on family business gets into trouble when he sees a bank robbery in progress, and thinks it is a movie scene.
