Al St. John is a bank messenger, sent on his bicycle to deliver important papers. Instead, he winds up at a party where he ends up courting Virginia Vance and dealing with rivals and bad 'uns.Al gets to perform some of his bicycle routine, act charmingly and do some standard but well-executed slapstick gags, all the time looking like he has borrowed Buster Keaton's oversized outfit.It's a handsome little comedy, just the sort of effort that Jack White's well-oiled team turned out a lot of for Educational Pictures. I must admit, though, that I have some doubts that Stephen Roberts directed the entire picture. There are enough shots from unusual angles to make me think that Al's uncle, Roscoe Arbuckle, had had a hand in the project, as he had, uncredited, in other St. John shorts for Jack White.
