Skylarking

Mack Sennett's frenzied slapstick style gets a spectacular lift in this high-flying comic fantasy. A hapless inventor named Victor Edison sets out to demonstrate his latest creation, a cross between an automobile and hot air balloon. After a few misfires he and another man's wife set out soaring over the city. It's a wondrous flight but, this being a Sennett comedy, there are angry spouses and lions waiting in the wings.
