Lightning Love
The storm, which takes up most of the second reel, is a trial run for the storm sequence in The Wizard Of Oz which Semon would make in 1925. Fox released a comedy that was an exact copy of Lightning Love just before the Semon film was due to come out. Albert E. Smith noticed the similarities and on September 5, 1923 attempted to have the Fox film pulled from the exhibitors.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Semon constructs the comedy on the clash between romantic pursuit and the storm's chaotic demolition. He relies on precise physical choreography, where every gust of wind and lightning strike serves as a meticulously timed punchline.
Those who tire of dialogue-heavy humor will find joy in this pure, visual slapstick symphony. What lingers after viewing is the rhythm of perfectly orchestrated havoc. — MovieFinder Editorial
