What happens

Feet of Mud is a 1924 silent black and white short film starring Harry Langdon directed by Harry Edwards and produced by Mack Sennett. It was reshown as part of Comedy Capers in a shortened version under the title of The Football Hero. The title of the film is a parody on Cecil B. DeMille's Feet of Clay, which was released only a few months before. There is no similarity in plot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
