Visualizing the convergence of Eugene De Rue's style and the core Comedy narrative.
After being chased all over town by a cop, Bobbie is finally apprehended, but he tells a "hard-luck" story that registers well when he displays a letter from a broken-hearted mother. However, the letter is printed on one side of a circular exploiting (the film) "The Wandering Boy." But the bluecoat is an agreeable gentleman and touched by the letter offers to find a job for the lad. Jobs are not to the liking of the young man, though, and he loses them as fast as the officer finds them, finally finding a wife and happiness at a powder factory where he thwarts the efforts of a Bolshevik mob.
Decades after its release, No Danger remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Eugene De Rue's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
