Keaton’s highest-grossing hit, this comedy of mistaken identity bounces between two men named Alfred Butler—one a mannered millionaire, the other a world-champion heavyweight boxer. Coincidence brings them together in the backwoods of Kentucky, where Butler-the-fop falls in love with a mountain girl, but not before antagonizing Butler-the-brute into a Madison Square Garden grudge match. In true Keaton fashion, the culmination of fisticuffs showcases his unparalleled physical genius.

A mistaken-identity crisis precipitates an almost continuous — and continuously brilliant — chase through two adjoining towns where Buster is taken for “Deadeye Dan, Public Enemy.”
