Acting
Larry Semon in a double role as a poor man chasing an opportunity to steal secret plans (for a reward of $1,000.83 from a rich man) and as the headmistress of a girl's college.
Larry Semon produces his take on a typical Keystone farce, the flirting-in-the-park routine, where pretty Florence Curtis is pursued by four typical Keystone types: the wealthy geezer, the moustachioed Italian, the derby-wearing tough and, of course, the big-footed cop… and here comes Larry, if not to save the day, at least to make us laugh.
Unlucky Larry finds himself pursued by the police after he inadvertently steals a man's car and kidnaps his girlfriend.
Golf, we discover in this early Semon short, is a game that is played by striking a croquet ball with a hockey stick and seeing how many times it can hit Larry Semon.
"Risks and Roughnecks" is an early Larry Semon effort with outrageously funny acrobatics as takes care of business in a big brawl.
