With over 200 credits, Lloyd
Hamilton was a prolific comic actor. This one comes after his "Ham and
Bud" shorts of the teens, and before his series of shorts at Educational
beginning in the mid-20s. The premise is simple: everything goes wrong for Ham,
everything he touches breaks, yet he manages to keep that wonderful smile and
skip in his walk. The film begins with him driving home in the middle of the
night, smashing through a barn, and blowing up his car...and it ends with him
crossing the street to embrace his lady love, and falling into a manhole!
