🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the stark contrast between the clerk's orderly existence and the hobos' chaotic world, relying on a classic case of mistaken identity to drive the plot forward.

What lingers after the chase is a charming, simplistic celebration of liberty found in the most unexpected places. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Allan Dwan
