The Sawmill (1922) ***

Sawmill workers are mistreated by an evil foreman. One dumb worker (Larry Semon) gets in trouble more often than others. There is lots of physical humor - trees and buckets of paint fall on people, pants catch fire, everybody is soaked, dirted and bruised. When bandits kidnap the boss' daughter, Larry rescues her by climbing a tree and pulling her up with a cord. When the villains want to cut the tree down, they fall into the lake. Produced by Vitagraph.
