Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Klynick Synopsis
Mickey, convalescing in a hospital from a tummy ache brought on by an over-fondness for green apples, is visited by his pals who, after much roughhousing, enable him to escape. They get together and start a hospital of their own which they operate with indifferent success until a live victim turns up. They "go to work" on him until he escapes and gets into a fireworks manufacturing plant where he drinks a glass of nitroglycerin, immediately after which he is seized with a fit of sneezing which proves a combustible commodity as everything in sight goes up in a blaze. He goes back to the "hospital" and the "staff," using a stomach pump, succeeds in drawing off the explosive but it drops and scatters the gang.
His Royal Slyness Synopsis
An American book salesman (Lloyd) is persuaded to go to the kingdom of Thermosa to impersonate the Prince. He is greeted by a peasants' revolt before the real prince shows up to claim his throne and princess. The revolution succeeds, and the American is elected president of the new republic.
"His Royal Slyness" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
