"A graduate of the Sennett school, Clarence Badger is an unjustly neglected director of comedy. Such work of his as can now be seen has a verve and polish which have survived better than many more classic contemporaries. Joining Sennett in 1915 as a scenarist, he very quickly began to direct.... From 1919 to 1921 he directed a long series of films with Will Rogers which were among the comedian's best, bringing out a certain pathetic quality in his cowboy characterizations." (David Robinson, Hollywood in the Twenties). Will Rogers plays a professional loafer who comes upon $50,000 in loot. But the find has a curious effect, turning the idler into an industrious worker in order to live up to his new wealth-and supply a credible source for it.
