Buster Keaton plays the mild-mannered son of a steamboat captain caught in the middle of the bitter rivalry between his father and another Mississippi riverboat owner. This classic comedy contains one of most famous, eye-popping (and dangerously real) sight gags ever seen on the silent screen. Though uncredited, Keaton co-wrote and co-directed the film which was the last he made for his own independent company.  Ernest Torrence, Tom McGuire and Marion Byron are featured in the cast. Three of Buster Keaton’s short comedies will be shown before the feature, “One Week” (1920); which was added to the National Film Registry in 2008; “The Boat” (1921), and “The Blacksmith” (1922).
