A 1923 American Short Comedy Silent Film directed by Buster Keaton and Edward F Cline that has a park attendant (Keaton) finding himself in a predicament after a balloon ride.
The movie also stars Phyllis Haver, Babe London, and John Brown.
It was released on January 22, 1923.
Tropes for the film:
- Balloonacy: The plot is basically "camper stumbles across hot-air balloon; Hilarity Ensues".
- Inevitable Waterfall: Subverted at the end. When the characters' canoe, newly outfitted with a simple canopy, reaches a waterfall's edge, it continues moving in the same direction despite gravity. A long shot reveals that what looked like a canopy was just the bottom of a newly-repaired hot-air balloon.
- Puddle-Covering Chivalry: Played for Laughs. Attempting to exhibit a most basic form of chivalry, Buster puts his coat over a puddle in front of a curb where a woman appears to be wanting to cross. Then a car pulls up atop his jacket, the woman gets into the car and it drives off. She was simply waiting for a ride. For his efforts, Buster's coat is now sopping wet and torn by the car wheels that rode over it.
- Tagline: "Hang it on the Sky!".
