This is a Harry Langdon short film made for Mack Sennett and is included with the "Harry Langdon: Lost and Found" four DVD set.
During most of the 1920s, Harry Langdon made two-reel shorts that were about 20 minutes in length. However, this film is over thirty--making it a long short film. Because of the length, he was able to create a more detailed and almost full-length style film.
The first portion is probably the best as you see that Harry is the only soldier in WWI who has no idea that the war had ended! When a farmer is using dynamite to blow up old stumps, Harry thinks the German army is after him. I really liked the scene where Harry thought the cow had been blown apart--it was very original. I really wish more time had been spent on this, as I found myself laughing quite a bit.
Eventually, his travels take him to a far-off European land where the worthless King Strudel is about to be kidnapped. But, like the story of "The Prisoner of Zenda", Harry is the spitting image of the king and the king's #1 man decides to have Harry pose as the monarch. The problem is that everyone seems to hate the king and the queen is even plotting to kill the guy. How Harry resolves all this is pretty cute.
While not great, this is a very good and polished silent comedy--and among Langdon's best.
