Bashful

When shy Harold Lloyd gets a telegram stating he will inherit two million dollars if he has a wife and baby when his uncle shows up, Bebe is anxious to be the wife. Where, however, will he get the baby?

Harold Lloyd had just made the switch from "Lonesome Luke" to the more realistic-looking "Glasses" character. While there isn't much in the way of the hard-knocks slapstick he had been working in for the previous two years, there are plenty of gags operating at top speed. One or two won't play today -- the first baby turns out to be Black, so Harold pretends to wipe its face as if the child is sooty. Still, the gags come fast and furious in the if-you-don't-enjoy-this-joke-here's-another style. There are plenty of good ones.
