When Knights Were Cold
Though only the second half survives, here's a synopsis of what's left: Stan is a Robin Hood-type character in a medieval walled town. He's chased by an army of knights, but both he and his pursuers ride music-hall half-horse costumes in lieu of real steads. He proceeds to fight, Fairbanks-like, dozens of swordsmen at once, and defeats his rival one-on-one, leaving him to marry the princess in a state ceremony.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy on an absurd contrast: knightly decor clashes with music-hall buffoonery, while noble steeds are replaced by滑稽 half-horse costumes. It relies on physical slapstick and sight gags, turning chases and duels into pure farce.
What lingers after viewing is the sheer joy of silent-era clowning, where every exaggerated stunt serves the next laugh, and period setting exists only to be mocked. — MovieFinder Editorial
