Summary
In the midst of a frenzied slapstick spectacle, Skylarking elevates the genre with its high-flying comic fantasy, as the hapless inventor Victor Edison showcases his ingenious creation - a hybrid of an automobile and hot air balloon. Following a series of misfires, Edison and his companion, another man's wife, embark on a wondrous aerial journey over the city, only to be met with the impending wrath of angry spouses and the unforeseen presence of lions, all quintessentially reminiscent of Mack Sennett's trademark style.
