What happens
Never Weaken is a 1921 American silent short comedy film starring Harold Lloyd and directed by Fred C. Newmeyer. It was Lloyd's last short film, running to three reels, before he moved permanently into feature-length production. It was also one of his trademark 'thrill' comedies, featuring him dangling from a tall building. Lloyd and his crew honed and perfected their "thrill" filming techniques in this film, and put them to use in the 1923 feature Safety Last! (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
