SAFETY LAST, 1923
The Boy (Harold Lloyd) lands a job as a clerk at a department store, but lies in his letters home to his beloved–pretending to be the store’s manager. The Boy’s roommate, The Pal makes money as a human fly, performing attention-getting stunts. The store’s real manager promises $1000 if The Boy can devise a publicity gimmick. He offers to split the money with The Pal if he’ll climb the 12-story building.
