In this two-reeler, Jimmy Jump wants to please both of his parents, but they disagree about everything. His father wants him to act more manly, although Jimmy gets his sensitivity from his mother. He wants to wed his girlfriend, and so accepts a job at his father's iron foundry, but does not excel there. Next, Jimmy goes to a tough dance-hall to impress his girl. A highlight is his parody of an Isadora Duncan dance.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs this two-reeler around the clash between parental expectations, relying on physical comedy and sight gags to explore the protagonist's gentle nature. The film builds its humor from the absurdity of Jimmy's attempts to fulfill opposing ideals.

What lingers after the final reel is the charming, hapless energy of the lead and the hilarious highlight of his dance hall parody. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Leo McCarey
