 Despite not knowing one end of a gun from the other, a drifter (Buster Keaton) gets a job running a shooting gallery at an amusement park. Believing that he is a master marksman, a local gangster decides to hire Our Hero as a bodyguard, cue an elaborate sequence with Keaton fighting off the bad guys. There aren’t many of the stunts that Keaton became famous for, but the film flows rather nicely and there’s plenty to amuse.
