Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaShortly before this film was made, Harold Lloyd was involved in an accident where a "prop" bomb exploded as he held it in his hand. Lloyd lost his thumb and index finger on his right hand in the explosion. The Goldwyn family had a flesh-colored prosthetic glove made for him so that he could continue his movie work. In many scenes in this movie, you will note that Lloyd's right hand is deliberately not being used. Furthermore, with some of the stunts Lloyd performs, it's difficult to tell that he is handicapped at all.
- GoofsAt 23:45 into the movie, The Boy is being chased by the Masked Angels. For a couple of minutes, his hat disappears and then reappears on his head.

Featured review
A Few Minutes Out West With Mr. Lloyd
A Hal Roach HAROLD LLOYD Short Subject.
Harold becomes AN EASTERN WESTERNER when his wealthy father banishes him from Broadway to Piute Patch.
Harold displays his remarkable athletic ability in this funny little film made shortly after he lost half of his right hand in a freak accident. Although his special glove (made by Sam Goldwyn's family) is visible at times, you would never know he was handicapped in any way. Whether trying to sneak into a New York nightclub, or escape from the dangerous Masked Angels out West, Harold is never less than hilarious.
Mildred Davis, Harold's future wife, plays the sweet Girl of the West; Noah Young is the nasty outlaw.
Robert Israel has composed an excellent film score which perfectly complements Harold's antics on the screen.
