Sixth episode in the Buster Brown 2-reel comedy series. Tige is pacing up and down, waiting for his master but cannot resist going in pursuit of a miniature dog in a parked limousine only to get very much the worse of the encounter. Meanwhile Buster is going riding with Mary Jane and Tige joins him on horseback but it transpire this is all just in his dreams.
Tige is pacing up and down, waiting for his master but cannot resist going in pursuit of a miniature dog in a parked limousine only to get very much the worse of the encounter. Meanwhile Buster is going riding with Mary Jane and Tige joins him on horseback but it transpire this is all just in his dreams. In reality the day is dominated by a machine that his inventor-father is to demonstrate and a long section devoted to crossing the road in the course of which Tige (the only actor credited in the print I saw) is guilty of a rather aggressive device for getting across that leads to the kids having to hide him from the police. Buster and Tige end up taking off in an airplane (presumably the father's invention) while father and Mary Jane go in pursuit by car. There is a further twist.The story is not terribly coherent but that is undoubtedly because the version I saw (presumably from a home-view version of some sort) at thirteen minutes is only about half the length it should be.The kids are frenetic. The star (Pal/Pete/Tige) is as impassive as Buster Keaton throughout.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
