1917 Comedy
1.0 / 10 · TMDB

Jerry, a perennial loser with outsized dreams, stumbles into possession of a contract that could upend the local business scene. His clumsy attempt to broker the "big deal" immediately draws the attention of the street's actual sharks. Instead of instant fortune, the hapless fellow is swept into a whirlwind of absurd misunderstandings, where everyone from a sidewalk vendor to a stern banker is determined to outsmart him. Chased by a growing crowd of eager "partners," Jerry dashes through the city, desperately trying to salvage both the contract and a reputation he never really had to begin with.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This 1917 silent short deftly skewers the universal hunger for a quick fortune. The physical comedy thrives on the gap between the protagonist's grandiose schemes and his utter incompetence in executing them.

What lingers after the final chase is the cheerful cynicism of a world where everyone is both a con artist and a mark. A brisk, witty snapshot of hustle culture long before the term existed. — MovieFinder Editorial
