Summary
A matrimonial kaleidoscope shatters when a honeymoon train whisks Florence Gilbert’s blithe bride from trackside bliss into a labyrinth of mistaken identities, séance-happy spiritualists, and anarchic vaudevillians. William Blaisdell’s hayseed husband, armed with nothing but a moth-eated valise and volcanic jealousy, pursues her phantom across soot-streaked terminals, coastal funiculars, and rooftop Chinatown chases, while Sidney Smith’s silk-hatted rogue and Monty Banks’s pratfalling detective ricochet through revolving doors like billiard balls in a hurricane. Every frame pirouettes between Harold Lloyd vertigo and Lubitsch lace, culminating in a moonlit courtroom where a single missing garter becomes Rosetta stone for love, larceny, and the modern appetite for spectacle.
