Featured review
fairbanks and young!
When larry sees diane forsythe, he is determined to meet her. So he performs bad deeds to make sure of it. And he finds out diane is not only the daughter of a foreign diplomat, but is to be married to an older gentleman quite soon. Larry is determined to break up that romance, and move into position. The only thing in his favor is that the diplomat is about to be arrested, and needs larry's help getting out of it. The plot kind of goes around in circles for a while. No-one really knows where diane is, although she seems to have been kidnapped. Maybe more than once. Boris karloff is the butler, but they don't really do much with him. Directed by bill mcgann, for first national. The tcm version that I saw was 62 minutes long; the run time on imdb currently shows 70 minutes. Acc to the trivia section here, there's a scene missing right at the start where o'brien goes to central america on the advice of a fortune teller. It's okay... a little convoluted. Probably the most interesting thing about this film is that parts of it were filmed in balboa park of san diego, which is built around around the exposition grounds of the world's fair.
