(1927) Us SILENT COMEDY

It has two seat air plane ride (similar to the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark) for the price of $2.50 with Charley Chase attempting to gain his nerve and confidence in flying on one. For the fee also comes with borrowing the uniform so that the person is able to ride on the front. And as soon as it was his turn, it then goes horribly wrong when the propeller comes off and the engine itself got shot. And while he is waiting for the next available plane to ride on, on a strange circumstance he then falls for (Margaret Quimby) to whom Charley had no clue is an aviator pilot herself.

I dozed off while I was watching this for it was boring with less slapstick than other Charley Chase movies.
