A movie projectionist dreams he can enter the detective thriller he is showing and as Sherlock Junior he foils the villains and saves the girl.
Remarkable silent comedy which is dazzling cinematically, the sequence of Buster entering the screen and the parody of movie serial melodrama is superb, less impressive is the material set in reality though that is inevitable really.
