Visualizing the convergence of Zion Myers's style and the core Short narrative.
Cliff is an employee at a railroad baggage station and is in love with the station agent's daughter. He uses a book of instructions on "How to Make Love" to excellent advantage although his suit is frowned upon by the girl's father. A pair of bad actors arrive in town to put on a show. Absence of two of the troupe allow Cliff and Zelma to get a pass to the show if they can help out the act. The show proves a fizzle but all turns out well for the boy and girl.
Decades after its release, Keep Trying remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Zion Myers's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
