Horse Shy

Edward Everett Horton is going on his first fox hunt, and in the usual course of short comedies, leading lady Nita Cavalier thinks him a great rider. So she makes sure that his mount is the unmanageable horse. At the same time, William Gillespie has eyes for her, and connives to elimiate Horton as a rival.

All of the standard gags appear in this late silent comedy short, produced by Harold Lloyd to keep his staff on pay roll while he worked on his next starring feature. Horton adds his usual expressions, and is, not uneexpectedly, very funny.

Edward Everett Horton is about to take part in his first Fox hunt. In the manner of all comedies, Nita Cavalier is convinced for no particular reason that he is a great horse man, and has arranged for his mount to be the most unmanageable in the established. Meanwhile, William Gillespie desires her and tries various means to kill him.

It's all in good fun in one of the two-reel comedies that Horton starred in, produced by Harold Lloyd to keep the money rolling in to pay his staff in between his own starring vehicles. There's a goodly number of well executed gags on display, and Horton uses his usual physical mannerisms to excellent effect.
