Ten Dollars Or Ten Days (1924) ***

Directed by D.Lord and produced by Mack Sennett. At first, it's a very confusing film about pharmacists mixing their medicines with poisons. Later, however, the plot thickens when Ben Turpin is accused of a crime he didn't commit. There are plenty of funny scenes involving night watchmen afraid of ghosts and Ben performing some high-rise acrobatics (like hanging from a rope attached to his neck).
