Disguised as a priest, an escaped convict makes his way to Texas. He ends up in a small rural town where the townsfolk mistake him for their new church minister, due that day. He settles into his new identity and its perks but there is always the chance that his true identity is discovered.
A Charlie Chaplin short film from the silent era. Doesn't have the plot, social commentary nor humour of Chaplin's classics from that era (especially The Kid and The Gold Rush). There are some great laugh out loud moments but these are few and far between with the humour largely relying on repetitive sight gags that wear thin quite quickly.
Plot is okay though fairly basic. Consistent with the repetitiveness mentioned before, it does drag at times. In terms of characters, the kid who keeps tormenting the priest is also one of the most annoying characters ever committed to screen, making some scenes quite unbearable.
Overall more miss than hit but has its moments.
