Premise [ edit ]
After dressing up as a prisoner for a fancy dress party, a songwriter is mistaken for a notorious escaped convict .
Critical reception [ edit ]
Allmovie described it as a "bouncy musical...At one point, the star ventures into Harold Lloyd territory when he finds himself manacled to a huge and surly thug who drags our poor hero all over London. Much of the film suffers from substandard sound recording, though a few innovative audio effects emerge from the cacophony."[4]
