Lloyd Hamilton destroys everything in sight as an electrician in this silent comedy short

The Lloyd Hamilton silent comedy shorts of the mid and late 1920s that I've seen have been uniformly good. In this one, we are introduced to a pretentious and uppity family who we just KNOW will be brought down to size later in the short. Then we cut to Lloyd Hamilton, stumbling along, and finding a job advertisement for an electrician's helper. He applies for the job (literally dangling over the business!), and from there on out there is solid physical comedy of all kinds. Imagine a silent film version of those Three Stooges shorts where the boys are plumbers and wreck the rich people's home, and then put all Three Stooges into one body, Lloyd Hamilton's. This is a must-see for Hamilton fans or admirers of silent comedy. If only films like this one were circulating in pristine shape--unfortunately, they aren't, but any copy is better than no copy.
