Long Pants
1927 · Movie · 60 min. · United States
Harry Shelby (Harry Langdon) has been kept in knee pants for years by his overprotective parents, but the day finally comes when Harry is given his first pair of long pants. Almost immediately, he is expected to marry his childhood sweetheart Priscilla (Priscilla Bonner)... but instead, Harry's first heady whiff of manhood has got him panting after Bebe (Alma Bennett), a "fast" woman from the big city. Mistakenly thinking that Bebe fancies him too, Harry risks everything to help her out when she lands in jail, only to end up in hot water himself. Through it all, sweet Priscilla waits for her man to come to his senses.
