Directed by Charles Riesner, Buster Keaton plays the son of a steamboat captain who falls in love with the daughter of a rival steamboat owner. The picture culminates with a cyclone in which a two-storey building comes crashing down with Buster, as usual, oblivious to his peril until a few seconds after he might have escaped harm’s way.

It would have been great to have sampled two different scores, and seen which followed Keaton's storytelling best. Unfortunately, the Robert Israel score seems to have been dumped. The stereo version is instead a repeat of the Hisaishi score, but missing the richness of its 5.1 Surround guise.
