Raymond Kane

Buster becomes a fireman, but unfortunately not a particularly good one. He has a chance to prove himself, however, when three women are trapped in a burning building.

When Buster Keaton goes to work as an assistant to a carnival magician, the results turn out to be less than magical.

Leo Donnelly in the role of a Broadway columnist who interviews stars, celebrities and wannabees and not-yetbees of the era, supposedly to set the record straight. Paulette Goddard discusses her engagement/non engagement to Charlie Chaplin; Paul Whiteman tells how he had to lose 100 pounds before he got married, and Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit - the Girl in the Red Velvet Swing - tell him what is happening in their lives in December of 1932. Leo then digs up archive footage featuring Gloria Swanson's four husbands...one at a time.
