The Poor Boob
(1919)“THE predicaments and "scrapes" that "Simp" got into will keep you rocking with laughter. And the one at the climax-why, you won't know whether to laugh or shout, it's so funny and thrilling.”
Synopsis
When he loses both his father’s canning factory and his girl “Tiny” to Stephen Douglas modest Simpson Hightower goes to work in a New York provisions office along with stenographer Hope and office boy Jimmy. To impress the Danish consul who is proposing a large contract Hope and Jimmy persuade Simpson to return to his hometown posing as a successful businessman accompanied by his secretary "Pep" and valet Jimmy. It works! Simpson manages to get the Danish contract, buy his factory back and realize Tiny’s worthlessness while recognizing his love for "Pep."
