The Blacksmith

The Blacksmith

... and the muscles of his brawny arms, were strong as rubber bands.

A lighthearted silent comedy built on physical gags and slapstick mishaps in a blacksmith shop, where Buster Keaton's deadpan antics create chaos and destruction with cheerful abandon.

Buster clowns around in a blacksmith's shop until he and the smithy get in a fight which sends the smithy to jail. Buster helps several customers with horses, then destroys a Rolls Royce while fixing the car parked next to it.
