The artistic legacy of Eddie Lyons was forever changed by Berth Control, the thematic layers of this 1918 classic invite a wider exploration of the genre. This list serves as a bridge to other cult experiences that are just as potent.
The vintage appeal of Berth Control to reinvent the tropes of cult cinema for a global audience.
Eddie and his bride manage to escape the hazing of the wedding guests, but is later caught by Lee, the hick detective, who has received a fake wire offering $1,000 reward for Eddie's capture as a dangerous criminal. He locates Eddie on the trail and handcuffs himself to him. Lee releases Eddie so the latter can wire his friends, and the bridegroom misses his train. He hurries by taxi to the jail, where Lee has taken the bride in lieu of Eddie. Eddie and his bride are locked up together, but are later released upon receipt of an explanatory telegram from their practical joking friends.
