What happens

Fast Company is a 1918 American silent comedy film directed by Lynn Reynolds and starring Juanita Hansen, Edward Cecil, Lon Chaney and Franklyn Farnum. (Lon Chaney had a relatively small role in this film, but the review from Motion Picture News slammed him for "overacting".) The film is today considered lost. Co-writer Waldemar Young later went on to script a number of Lon Chaney's later silent films, such as The Blackbird, The Unknown and The Unholy Three (1925 version) and collaborated with director Tod Browning as well.
