The Railrodder

SYNOPSIS

Buster Keaton plays a proper Englishman who jumps off a bridge into the Thames and presumably walks underwater to Canada. He stumbles across a Canadian National Railways speeder, takes a seat, then accidentally starts the motor which begins to take him clear across Canada by rail. True to Keaton's genre, the film is full of sight gags while not a word is spoken throughout. It is a short film produced for the National Film Board of Canada.
