Keaton stars as William Canfield, Jr., a Boston collegian who returns to his deep-southern roots to reunite with his father, a crusty riverboat captain (Ernest Torrence) who is engaged in a bitter rivalry with a riverboat king coincidentally, the father of Willie’s sweetheart (Marion Byron).

Buster Keaton is absolutely incredible to me because what that guy does on screen is truly unbelievable. His stunts are basically impossible to perform today because no one would risk getting seriously hurt. That's what gets me. The building collapse scene, where he survives only thanks to an open window, has been done before, but it never gets old. I wonder if any modern comedian would dare to attempt something like that today.
