Partners Again

In this 1926 silent comedy, the legendary duo of Potash and Perlmutter shift their entrepreneurial ambitions from the garment district to the burgeoning automotive industry. Acting as agents for the 'Schenckman 6,' a vehicle of dubious quality, the pair finds themselves ensnared in a web of deceit when they are swindled into backing a fraudulent invention. Their attempts to rectify the situation by recruiting a cadre of unsuspecting investors only deepen their legal jeopardy. As the walls of the law close in, Potash—consumed by a paralyzing fear of incarceration—descends into a state of manic delusion. This psychological fracture culminates in a desperate aerial escape where, in a fit of hysterical bravado, he takes to the wings of a moving biplane, transforming a routine business failure into a high-altitude spectacle of survival and absurdity.
