Stan is a lazy employee at a lumber company. Much of the first portion of the film has to do with Stan trying to sneak into work late--past the violent and rather insane supervisor. Later, however, Stan walks into a plot to steal the company away and frame the owner for a crime he did not commit.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor on the escalating stakes, moving from petty workplace evasion to a genuine criminal plot. It relies on silent-era physical comedy and clear visual storytelling to drive the narrative forward, exploring the unexpected heroism of a slacker.

What lingers after the final reel is the charm of a simple, well-executed transition from routine gags to a miniature adventure. The comedy of small deceptions gives way to a larger, more engaging conflict. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: George Jeske
