When Harold -- and every other comic on the lot who doesn't look like a movie comic --wants to marry Marie Mosquini, they must first Ask Father.
Lloyd's character was referred to by a various of titles, usually as "The Glasses" character, but Mr. Lloyd usually referred to him as "The Boy" and that's how the titles in this short refer to him. Here he's behaving as we expect him to: relatively normal at the beginning, rather self-involved, able to take the hard-knocks pratfall that slapstick demanded and when confronted with a problem, ready to come up with a solution, no matter how eccentric.
There's also a hint of thrill comedy as Harold scales a building. So, for a Harold Lloyd two-reeler, you've got the makings of everything you'd want in one of his pictures.
