The Bell Boy
Watch them make Things Fly in the Sleepy Village of Ouchgosh.
Directed by Roscoe Arbuckle
Produced by Comique Film Company
A lighthearted silent-era slapstick romp where bellhops cause mayhem through pranks, mishaps, and chases in a hotel setting.
At the Elk's Head Hotel bellhops torment the lobby, each other and guests. The elevator is powered by a stubborn horse. A sham robbery turns into a real one. And there is a chase on a runaway trolley.
