Haunted Spooks
Bar none, the greatest two reel Comedy ever made!
A brisk, high-spirited silent comedy that mines physical humor and absurdity from a haunted-house inheritance scheme, anchored by warmth and playful mischief.
After numerous failed attempts to commit suicide, our hero (Lloyd) runs into a lawyer who is looking for a stooge to stand in as a groom in order to secure an inheritance for his client (Davis). The inheritance is a house, which her scheming uncle "haunts" so that he can scare them off and claim the property.
