✨ About the Film:
Keaton stars as Elmer Tuttle, a simple plumber who’s hired by a wealthy woman (Irene Purcell) to pose as her lover in order to make her suitor jealous. Naturally, chaos erupts as Elmer fumbles through high-society intrigues, romantic rivalries, and comic disasters β€” all while trying to keep his plumbing tools handy. The cast also features rising star Jimmy Durante, adding fast-talking humor to Keaton’s stoic performance.

00:01:42THE END
00:01:43Let's go.
00:02:13Let's go.
00:02:43What do you understand?
00:02:53English.
00:02:54Why didn't you say so?
00:02:56Why didn't you say so?
00:02:57Couldn't you see I was an American?
00:02:58No.
00:02:59Then what do I look like?
00:03:00Will you tell me that?
00:03:02I can't remember.
00:03:04Say, McCracken's the name.
00:03:06McCracken.
00:03:07Julius J. McCracken.
00:03:09What's the J for?
00:03:10Julius.
00:03:11Tuttle.
00:03:13Elmer E. Tuttle.
00:03:15What's the E for?
00:03:17Elmer.
00:03:18Say, where are you from?
00:03:20Yonkers.
00:03:21Boy, could I make a crack?
00:03:25Could I make a crack?
00:03:26Hey, do you know anything about firearms?
00:03:29Sure.
00:03:30I was shot three times in the Argonne.
00:03:32Well, look.
00:03:33I got an invention.
00:03:34It's my own invention, see?
00:03:36It's a spot shot pistol.
00:03:38You squeeze the handle and it throws the spot out
00:03:40so you can see where you're shooting at night.
00:03:42Gee, that's miraculous.
00:03:44Miraculous.
00:03:45I'm gonna demonstrate it if I can to General Boucher
00:03:47and maybe the French army will adopt it.
00:03:49Marvelous.
00:03:50Say, it'll be the makings of you.
00:03:52It'll be the greatest invention since Einstein
00:03:54discovered them relatives.
00:03:57You think so?
00:03:58Sure.
00:03:59Say, I got an invention.
00:04:01What is it?
00:04:02Putting zippers on bananas.
00:04:03Is that good or is that good?
00:04:08Did you have any reason for coming here?
00:04:13Gee, I almost forgot what I came here for.
00:04:15Mademoiselle wants her pipes fixed.
00:04:17Has she got a leak?
00:04:18Yeah, in her bathroom.
00:04:20Oh, bathrooms.
00:04:21Always bathrooms.
00:04:22See the darn things in my sleep.
00:04:26If I ever get a chance to...
00:04:29Cheers.
00:04:57Albie!
00:04:58Quick, quick, Albie.
00:04:59Oh, Miss Patricia, what's the matter?
00:05:00Lock the door.
00:05:01Don't let anyone in.
00:05:02All right.
00:05:03Now, Miss Patricia, what's the trouble?
00:05:05Oh, it's the same old trouble.
00:05:06Tony's following me.
00:05:07Mr. Tony, here in Paris?
00:05:09Yes.
00:05:10He saw Mr. Claridge's.
00:05:11He found me out and I jumped into a cab.
00:05:13Oh, but I know he'll follow me here.
00:05:15If you'd put that man out of your mind,
00:05:17you'd be better off.
00:05:18Oh, don't talk like a silly goose.
00:05:19If I could forget Tony, I'd have done it long ago.
00:05:21Well, I suppose there's only one thing to do.
00:05:23Start packing up and running away again.
00:05:25Will he follow me?
00:05:26Besides, why should I run away when I love him?
00:05:28But he's a married man.
00:05:29Oh, he's not so very much married.
00:05:31He hasn't lived with Nina Stratos for years,
00:05:33but she won't give him a divorce.
00:05:35He's so lonely.
00:05:37Why shouldn't he love?
00:05:39There, you see, Albie?
00:05:41Instead of fighting against him,
00:05:42I'm actually defending him.
00:05:44Oh, it's no use.
00:05:45Well, there's only one way to get rid of the Frenchman.
00:05:48Start running around with another man.
00:05:50But I don't want another man.
00:05:51I don't want any man.
00:05:52It's Tony.
00:05:54Let him in.
00:05:55No, no, don't let him in.
00:05:56Tell him I'm not here.
00:06:04The specialist is here.
00:06:05Oh, it's you.
00:06:06It's all right, Miss Patricia.
00:06:09It's nobody.
00:06:10She means you.
00:06:11Wait here a minute.
00:06:13That's her.
00:06:14That's Albie.
00:06:15What a mama.
00:06:16And does she palpitate for me?
00:06:18You mean she likes you?
00:06:19Likes me?
00:06:20Her and I are like that.
00:06:21Which one's you?
00:06:23Listen, he's like this.
00:06:25I know how to handle a female of my species.
00:06:26Dominate them.
00:06:27And listen, I've got a voice and things around here.
00:06:29I've got a voice and things.
00:06:30Honey, don't you?
00:06:31Honey, don't you, honey?
00:06:32There's a voice and things.
00:06:34You've got to control them.
00:06:35I've got a voice and things.
00:06:36Honey.
00:06:37Don't you?
00:06:39Honey,ζ•‘ me!
00:06:40I'm an alien.
00:06:41My friend,my.
00:06:43Your wife?
00:06:44What a mother.
00:06:45That's your wife?
00:06:46Who's an alien?
00:06:47That's her, Albie.
00:06:49Don't you, honey, me.
00:06:52You lost your voice.
00:06:54What do you mean by coming here at this hour and with this?
00:06:59Sweets, this is Mr. Tottle.
00:07:01Tottle, you're right.
00:07:04You see, babe?
00:07:04Oh, shut up.
00:07:06Great kidder.
00:07:08I suppose you forgot your tools.
00:07:10No, I brought them.
00:07:13Well, I want the shower fixed up in Miss Patricia's bathroom.
00:07:16Well, where do I turn the water off?
00:07:17In the kitchen.
00:07:18Go and turn it off, Mac.
00:07:19And wait a minute.
00:07:20And turn it back on again when I give you a signal from up above like this.
00:07:25Oh, say, I said for a plumber, not a house wrecker.
00:07:32Come on, Mr. Tottle.
00:07:34Tottle.
00:07:37Well, hurry up.
00:07:39Come on in here.
00:07:50I want to show you what has to be fixed.
00:07:52It's this shower up here.
00:07:53It's been a nuisance ever since we've had it in the morning.
00:07:58Say, not so much noise, Mr. Tottle.
00:08:02Tottle.
00:08:02All right, Mr. Tottle.
00:08:04Now, the thing, I never use them myself.
00:08:06Oh!
00:08:07So, you're that kind of a guy, are you?
00:08:11Well, now you can put your mind on your business.
00:08:14This is the thing that has to be fixed up here.
00:08:16Come on, get busy with that shower up there.
00:08:29Albie!
00:08:30Albie!
00:08:30Yes?
00:08:31I'll be right there.
00:08:34Oh, what's the matter now?
00:08:36Albie, it's Tony, I'm sure.
00:08:38I'll hide in here.
00:08:40Tell him I'm going away for the weekend.
00:08:41Oh, well, I tell him you're gone.
00:08:42Oh, Barsalona, anywhere, but tell him, hurry up.
00:08:44All right, it's Barsalona.
00:09:03Oh, oh, Mr.
00:09:04Patricia!
00:09:05Patricia!
00:09:06Mr. Tottle, Miss Patricia isn't here.
00:09:08Oh, away from me, away from me.
00:09:09You, Mr. Tottle, you shouldn't act that way.
00:09:13Why don't you ask me where she is?
00:09:15I tell you where she is.
00:09:16Why don't you ask me, please?
00:09:18She ain't...
00:09:18Now, look at me.
00:09:20She isn't here, Mr. Tottle.
00:09:22I'm telling you, she isn't here.
00:09:26Oh, honestly, Mr. Tottle, Miss Patricia ain't here.
00:09:30I wouldn't lie to you.
00:09:31She's in Barcelona.
00:09:32You little fool.
00:09:33I saw her with my own eyes not 30 minutes ago at Claridge's
00:09:35and wearing that coat there.
00:09:37Oh, I wouldn't fit to you.
00:09:39I would...
00:09:39Tottle!
00:09:43Patricia!
00:09:46Ah, Patricia, why did you run away from me?
00:09:48I...
00:09:49I ran away because I never wanted to see you again.
00:09:51But why?
00:09:52You were very happy with me at Monte Carlo.
00:09:54Yes, I was happy.
00:09:56Until you told me you were married.
00:09:57Do you blame me for telling the truth?
00:09:59No.
00:10:00But I blame you for not telling it sooner.
00:10:01Oh, must we go all over that again, Patricia?
00:10:04What has marriage to do with love anyway?
00:10:05You love me and I...
00:10:08No, not any longer.
00:10:12You think all you have to do is whistle and I'll come to you.
00:10:16I want you, Patricia.
00:10:17And I'm going to have you.
00:10:18No, no, no.
00:10:18Not here, Tony.
00:10:20I love you.
00:10:22Why fight against something you can't resist?
00:10:23Oh, Patricia, darling.
00:10:29Oh, no, no, Tony, Tony.
00:10:30Let me go.
00:10:40You couldn't be true to anyone, Tony.
00:10:42Oh, Patricia.
00:10:42No, no, no, I won't be a fool again.
00:10:44Now, go away, darling.
00:10:45Please, go.
00:10:55So that's why you run away from me.
00:10:57You have a lover.
00:10:58Oh, no, Tony, that's not true.
00:10:59Then who is the man in that bathroom of yours?
00:11:00I don't know.
00:11:01I'll soon find out.
00:11:04Come out of there.
00:11:07Come out of there or I'll shoot.
00:11:12Who are you?
00:11:18Answer me.
00:11:20Say something.
00:11:22How have you been?
00:11:24Who is this man?
00:11:25Tony, I swear I never saw him before.
00:11:29I'll have satisfaction for this insult.
00:11:32My seconds will arrange the details.
00:11:34What details?
00:11:35Oh, no, Tony, not a duel.
00:11:37I'll kill this libertine, this love thief,
00:11:40this unspeakable foreigner.
00:11:42Don't you call me a foreigner.
00:12:12All right, pal.
00:12:13Keep your attitude.
00:12:14Yeah, it's all right pal. Keep your attitude. Let's make it some other time
00:12:44You can't leave now. It ain't that a kiss?
00:13:14Good morning, gents. Fine weather for this kind of stuff. Fine weather.
00:13:32I am Mr. Roger, Dr. Renard, and I am Mr. Robert de la Gaspar.
00:13:38Glad to meet you, boys. Glad to meet you. This is Mr. Elmer Turtle.
00:13:45Turtle.
00:13:49This is the gentleman who is to be shot.
00:13:53What is your choice of weapons? Monsieur Lagos prefers swords.
00:14:00My specimen prefers pistols.
00:14:04Anything. Swords, pistols. I don't care. I'll kill him anyway.
00:14:13What's the difference? Swords, pistols.
00:14:17Satisfy both sides. Let him have a sword and I'll use a pistol.
00:14:21No, no, no.
00:14:22It's not too bad.
00:14:23You are wrong.
00:14:24No, no, no.
00:14:25No, don't.
00:14:26No, don't.
00:14:27You raised your hand.
00:14:28No, no, no.
00:14:29No, no, no.
00:14:31No, no, no.
00:14:32I can't sell them the idea.
00:14:34Go back.
00:14:35Now.
00:14:36Now, let me see.
00:14:37You're welcome.
00:14:38I don't give a purpose.
00:14:39No, not really.
00:14:41Okay.
00:14:42Have it your way.
00:14:44Pistols.
00:14:45Pistols!
00:14:50You better try out the old spot shot and see if it's working right.
00:15:03You stupid idiot! You've ruined my hat!
00:15:06My dear, my dear, my dear, my dear, my dear!
00:15:16Imagine if...
00:15:17Imagine if...
00:15:18So far, so good. You've got him in a frenzy.
00:15:20Nice work, boy. Nice work.
00:15:23Now, gentlemen, if you take off your things, we will proceed with the duel.
00:15:28Have I got a dress?
00:15:29Sure. It's an old Latin custom. It's been handed down from pillar to post.
00:15:36Let's go.
00:15:49Please, gentlemen, let's proceed with the duel.
00:15:53Ah, pipe down, pipe down! Who's getting shot here?
00:15:56Scram!
00:15:57Proceed!
00:16:00Now, I'll tell you what I want you to do.
00:16:01Proceed!
00:16:02You see? Now, you've got them raffled.
00:16:03You've got them going.
00:16:04Don't worry about nothing.
00:16:06Hey, listen.
00:16:07Just think.
00:16:08All this happens on my day off.
00:16:10Ha, ha, ha!
00:16:11What a break!
00:16:12Ha, ha!
00:16:13What a break!
00:16:14Remember, I hate this mug and I've got to have revenge.
00:16:17Go ahead, pal.
00:16:19Be hostile with him.
00:16:20I'm so much more of the gun.
00:16:21Get out of the gun.
00:16:22Have you understood the instructions?
00:16:23Go ahead.
00:16:24No!
00:16:25No!
00:16:26No!
00:16:27No!
00:16:28No!
00:16:29No!
00:16:30No!
00:16:31No!
00:16:32No!
00:16:33No!
00:16:34No!
00:16:35No!
00:16:36No!
00:16:37No!
00:16:38No!
00:16:39No!
00:16:40No!
00:16:41No!
00:16:42No!
00:16:43No!
00:16:44And with that, you understand?
00:16:46Mr Gilbert, we're going from the other side to the other.
00:16:50Don't be stupid.
00:16:52Listen, my friends.
00:16:54Two to two.
00:16:55In the back.
00:16:56Two to two.
00:16:5710 steps of distance.
00:16:59You understand?
00:17:03Let's go!
00:17:07What are you doing?
00:17:09Pull the trigger!
00:17:11Pull the trigger!
00:17:13Oh!
00:17:19I can't stand it.
00:17:20Don't push me.
00:17:21No, no, no, calm down.
00:17:22What's going on?
00:17:23You're a boss.
00:17:25It's not like that.
00:17:29Do a bottle. Do a bottle.
00:17:31Just keep your attitude.
00:17:33Just keep your attitude.
00:17:34Oh, no.
00:17:35Mr Gilbert, I'll ask you.
00:17:37Mr Gilbert, I'll ask you.
00:17:39Where are you?
00:17:41There!
00:17:42You understand?
00:17:43All right.
00:17:44All right.
00:17:47If you don't do this thing right this time, I'll kill you twice.
00:17:50I'll kill you twice.
00:17:51Barty!
00:18:07Tony!
00:18:08Tony!
00:18:09Tony!
00:18:10My Tony!
00:18:11Oh, Tony, you're hurt.
00:18:12Tony, darling, speak to me, please.
00:18:15I'm all right, my dear Patricia.
00:18:20Ah.
00:18:21You thought you had lost me.
00:18:23And you grieved for me.
00:18:24You love me.
00:18:25Now I know.
00:18:29Don't be so sure of yourself.
00:18:30Don't be so sure of yourself.
00:18:33Oh!
00:18:34You murderer!
00:18:39Oh, you poor fellow.
00:18:41Oh, to think I'm responsible for this.
00:18:44So young.
00:18:46You have such a kind face.
00:18:49You're so young to die.
00:18:51Tell me, are you hurt badly?
00:18:54No, ma'am.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:58Donnie.
00:19:24Oh, Donnie.
00:19:25Oh, Donnie, my Tony.
00:19:27Oh, you're so sad.
00:19:28Oh, you're so sad.
00:19:29Oh, you're so sad.
00:19:30Oh, you're so sad.
00:19:31Oh, you're so sad.
00:19:32Oh, Nina, darling.
00:19:33Why do you have to wait for so long, Tony?
00:19:34Oh, I'm crazy.
00:19:35You're so sad to tell me.
00:19:36You're so sad to wait for so long.
00:19:37Oh, you're so sad to wait for so long.
00:19:38At last you have come.
00:19:40Do you know, for two days I have waited for you?
00:19:42Well, you see, Nina, my darling, I have been away on business.
00:19:47Hmm?
00:19:48Love business?
00:19:49Oh, no, Nina, darling.
00:19:50Oh, no.
00:19:51Maybe you have a meeting with your wife, Patricia Jardine, huh?
00:19:52Oh, no.
00:19:53How silly.
00:19:54Oh, if I do not believe this, I will kill her, kill you.
00:20:05Oh, Tony, if you could only speak Spanish, then you would know what I feel for you.
00:20:14Tony, where will you marry me?
00:20:17Well, how can I tell?
00:20:19You see, Patricia will not divorce me.
00:20:21Oh, you must find a way.
00:20:23She must give you up.

00:20:33I'm crazy about you.
00:20:34Yes, dear.
00:20:35I'm going to divorce my wife and marry you as soon as possible.
00:20:37Yes.
