Comedy

Funnier than “The Paleface,” this comedy follows a young girl who becomes a pawn in a bet and is left in the care of the notoriously cheap Sorrowful Jones. When her father fails to return, Sorrowful discovers that looking after a child clashes with his free‑wheeling lifestyle. Meanwhile he must evade crooked gangsters and dabble in horse‑theft.
