Synopsis
"The Cameraman":In a film so admired the studio used it as a training film for its comedy filmmakers, Keaton plays a tintype street photographer who tries his hand as a freelance newsreel cameraman in order to win the affection of a girl who works at a newsreel company.
"Spite Marriage":
A jilted actress pops the question to hapless admirer Keaton. The result is a marriage made in comedy heaven, filled with pursuits, rescues and slapstick. The landmark routine of putting the inebriated bride to bed became a staple of Keaton's 1950s live shows.
"Free and Easy":
Keaton departs Kansas with the newly crowned Miss Gopher City (Anita Page) and heads for Hollywood determined to turn her into a star. Robert Montgomery, Lionel Barrymore and several unbilled luminaries join the Great Stone Face in his first talkie.
