191725 min5.9 / 10

A lighthearted silent-era slapstick romp through an amusement park, built on physical comedy, romantic entanglement, and the anarchic energy of early cinema.

Arbuckle escapes the watch of his domineering wife and heads for Coney Island. Keaton arrives that same day with his attractive, and rather easy, girlfriend, who is immediately stolen from him by St. John.
