Directed by: Fred C. Newmeyer, Sam Taylor
Starring: Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, Noah Young, Bill Strother
Continuity mistake: As Harold scales a six-story building, the background is of a busy Los Angeles street with a department store and other businesses. When Harold reaches the fifth floor, the background is a completely different street.
Bill, The Pal: Make this next floor faster. I'm having a little difficulty in ditching the cop.
Trivia: The scenes of Harold Lloyd hanging from the hands of a skyscraper clock were filmed on a facade erected on the roof of the L.L. Burns Building at 908 South Broadway in Los Angeles.
