Typical of the Lloyd pictures that
have made his famous, "Professor
Beware" deals with his mad dash
across the continent to arrive In
New York In time to catch a boat
sailing for Egypt. Broke, and out
of a Job, he starts the trip with
Miss Welch at his heels, and arrives
at his destination, a bit dizzy from
his adventures and still broke, but
now pursuing the girl.

recognize them later.
With the aid of his dog and the
loyalty of a beautiful assistant cur
ator of the museum, Dlx saves the
honor of his sister by double-crossing
the blackmailers, but In so do
ing he runs afoul of the law, which
leads to a thrilling climax.
Whitney Bourne plays opposite
Dlx, and Eduardo ClannelU is the
chief menace. The dog role Is played
by "Ace, the Wonder Dog."
