For those who were mesmerized by Peg o' the Mounted, a true Comedy masterpiece from 1924, its influence on Comedy cinema remains a vital reference point for fans today. This list serves as a bridge to other Comedy experiences that are just as potent.

The Peg o' the Mounted Phenomenon

The legacy of Peg o' the Mounted is built upon its ability to blend thematic complexity with stunning visual execution.

A child plays in the woods next to an isolated cabin. An exhausted Mountie faints by the cabin, and the child helps him inside to the bed. She gives him a spoonful of liniment and rubs Castor oil on his face. He awakes and tells her he's been chasing moonshiners. She vows to capture them, dons her Mountie mascot uniform, and sets out in pursuit. She gets the draw on three of them, but a fourth grabs her. She continues to follow them past Moonshine River to the moonshiners' hideout. She loses her uniform and is lassoed by the ringleader. A Mountie should always get her man, but is she resourceful enough to turn this into an opportunity?
