Directors:
Charley Chase (as Charles Parrott) , Harold LawStars:
Charley Chase, Andrea Leeds, Kewpie MorganCharley Chase' insurance company has a million dollar policy on Andrea Leeds' wedding coming off. When Andrea runs away and cons Charley into thinking she's a detective in pursuit of herself, there's no shortage of great laughs. Many of the gags involve Charley and Andrea being bound together or separately. They kiss when tied up at a gas station robbery; they are captured by the authorities and handcuffed together and look very comfortable, but when they are handcuffed to other people, there is the sort of uncomfortable comedy that Charley excelled in. Finally, Charley escapes with Andrea from the police, only to place her in a paddy wagon and drive her elsewhere.
