Harold is by the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea, where he flirts with Bebe, pretends to be a lifeguard and roughhouses with the men in this slapstick comedy.
Although Harold Lloyd had insisted on abandoning his moderately successful Lonesome Luke series, despite -- according to Lloyd's memoirs -- protests by producer Hal Roach, in favor of the more realistic looking character that he played for the rest of his career, he did not entirely abandon the hard-knocks slapstick; through 1919, he would star in a mix of story films with gags in them and rowdy slapstick affairs set on a single location. This one, set on the sea shore, is one of the latter. Although the public would gradually come to prefer the story pieces, particularly in lengths longer than a single reel, rowdy single-reelers like this were still popular -- and funny, too.
