I have seen quite a few of the Harry Langdon shorts that are still in existence and I must say that this is among the best of them, as it's very funny and sweet and just a bit better than his usual fare.
The film begins with a bunch of burly he-men working in the woods chopping down trees. Suddenly, in this midst of all this manliness, Kewpie-like Harry Langdon shows up and also wants to be a lumberjack! As you'd expect, he's a small weakling that is totally out of his league. Things get worse when Harry falls for a nice young lady who's at the loggers' camp, as perennial Langdon foe Vernon Dent shows up and thrashed Harry. It seems that Dent has decided she's HIS girl--even though the lady has no interest in this brute.
Later, we find that Harry's been chased away from the loggers but has landed on his feet as a bouncer in a tough saloon. Somehow, the folks have been fooled into thinking that Harry is a super-tough guy and everyone is afraid to cross him. How this all occurred is pretty cute and it's funny to see sweet little Harry as the town bully--that is until Dent arrives to spoil the fun! The short excels because the story is stronger than usual and while it's also pretty sweet, the film does NOT get mired into pathos. Plus, it's darn funny. While I disagree strongly with people who have equated Langdon's talents with that of the comedy greats of his time (Robert Youngson seemed to have started this comparison in WHEN COMEDY WAS KING), this film is among the better silent shorts I've seen and is nearly as good as those of Harold Lloyd or Buster Keaton--two men who were making the best shorts at the time BOOBS IN THE WOODS debuted.
