Synopsis:
A smalltown man moves to the big city to make good and marry his girl, but has trouble rising up the ranks of his department store.

Classic Lloyd comedy, the one everyone remembers for its set-piece climb bestrewn with hazards, though there are other cleverer moments in this and elsewhere in his work.
