Friends, Romans and Leo
The plot and setting is actually a bit like Keaton's The Three Ages will be in 1923. But less sophisticated: The Roman Emperor Mulius Caesar borrows more money than he should. The loan shark is all over him and exploits this to get near the emperor's daughter. A slave falls in love with the daughter and sends the loan shark in a rage – unless the slave is sent to Colosseum he will foreclose the emperor's mortgage.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy on the anachronistic premise of a Roman emperor facing foreclosure, relying on slapstick chases and mistaken identities within the ancient setting.
What lingers after the final reel is the cheerful absurdity of seeing toga-clad characters grapple with a very modern financial crisis, resolved through pure, unadulterated farce. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Alan Crosland

With light snacks, embracing the silent-era silliness.
