The Slick Articles Phenomenon

Few films from 1925 manage to capture to leave an indelible mark on the history of United States film.

A pair of destitute artists are in arrears in their rent and bound by necessity to get themselves out of hock. They endeavor to accomplish this indirectly through the rescue of a maiden from a bunch of villains on her father's yacht. She poses for them and father becomes interested in a number of pictures they have "borrowed."' The rightful owner puts in an appearance just at the wrong time and the pair are captured after the characteristic chase of the short comedy.
