Number, Please? Trivia Quiz

Answer: He's riding a roller coaster.

Harold looks pretty bored, actually, for somebody who's toying with death. What he really ends up toying with are the various other passengers' hats (and a toupee) that blow off and fly into his face.

Answer: He tries to win a prize at a game.

He actually makes a pretty good throw the first time, knocking two dolls down. Not bad for a man wearing a special prosthetic glove on his right hand to disguise his missing thumb and index finger! But the girl doesn't even notice. She turns just in time to see a flustered Harold throw wildly on his second shot.

She turns her nose up at him, and in an impotent rage Harold just starts flinging balls wildly, breaking the Kewpie dolls in the next booth over. Needless to say, this doesn't impress the girl at all, or the owner of the Kewpie doll booth.

Answer: Harold

Harold chases General Pershing all over the place, getting smacked hard when he lands on the "Ring the Bell" platform. This leaves him so dazed that he becomes disturbed over his reflection in some funhouse mirrors. Just as he realizes that the mirrors are distorted, not his body, the dog gets in somebody's way and gets tossed aside -- right into Harold's arms.

Answer: In the close-up, Harold isn't wearing his gloves.

Since Harold Lloyd didn't have a right thumb, he needed a hand double to be able to manipulate the catch on the leash with his right hand. But through the rest of the film, Harold is wearing gloves, with the right one specially made to provide prosthetics for his missing right thumb and index finger.

The hand double wears no gloves, making it especially obvious that those weren't Harold's hands.

Answer: Go on a balloon ride with her.

Her Uncle Dudley has a balloon, and gives her two passes, but tells her she must get her mother's consent first.

Roy the rival rushes off in his roadster. Harold, not as rich but making up for it in smarts, decides to use the telephone. But not all goes smoothly on the telephone front.

Answer: Workmen haul away the phone booth just as it's Harold's turn to use it.

Poor Harold runs into one barrier after another, including an operator so wrapped up in gossip with her friend that she doesn't even notice anybody's trying to put a call through. We even get a multiple exposure shot that shows Harold, the operator, and three people the call went through to. Harold finally gets connected to the girl's mother -- only to find out Roy has just been there and gotten permission to take the girl on the balloon ride.

Answer: The thief, spotting a cop, ditches the purse into Harold's pocket.

Harold, finding the purse in his pocket, tries to foist it off on Roy but keeps getting it back. The close-up for one of these attempts uses Harold's left hand -- with his glove on. No goofs in this shot! But when Roy drops the purse into Harold's hat -- which Harold has in his left hand -- he's missing the glove! Oops!

Answer: He tries to toss it into a moving bus but it bounces off a passenger's head and lands at Harold's feet.

He also tosses it up onto an awning only to have it slide down and land on his hat -- while a cop watches. Harold's attempts to look casual when cops and detectives spot him only make him look more and more guilty.

Answer: The balloon passes were in the purse.

Of course, Harold knows nothing of this and is still trying to ditch the purse. He tosses it onto the running board of a passing car and into the surf, but still can't get rid of it.

Answer: A goat eats it.

Of course, Roy gets the girl. A title tells us, "A lone wanderer roams the world facing the drab dawn of a dead tomorrow." Harold, forlorn, rides off -- on a kiddie train.
