Description:Harold Lloyd is Speedy Swift, an avid baseball fan who can't keep a job. He spends a day at Coney Island with his girl Jane (Ann Christy). Her grandfather owns an old horse-drawn streetcar line that is about to be taken over by another company. Speedy gets a job as a taxi driver (his first customer is Babe Ruth- in a credited cameo). He hears that a gang of roughs plan to take the streetcar, so he gathers the neighborhood Civil War vets and they fight off the gang. Speedy saves the day and marries Jane.

Review - Speedy

Contains one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen. Lloyd has a crab in his pocket but doesn't know it. It swipes an undergarment from a lady's purse. She chases him and says "You thief!" Its men like you that make women afraid to wear underwear."
