Finders Keepers is an extant 1928 American silent military comedy film directed by Wesley Ruggles and Otis B. Thayer and starring Laura La Plante and John Harron.[1][2] Due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was prepared late in 1928. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it features a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. It was produced and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film may or may not be a remake of a 1921 film Finders Keepers singularly directed by Thayer.

This silent version of the film is preserved in The Library of Congress from elements preserved and prepared by Universal.[3] Its trailer also exists in the Library of Congress.[4]
