What happens

Leap Year is an 1924 American silent comedy film directed by and starring Roscoe Arbuckle and James Cruze. Though produced in 1921, the film was not released in the United States due to Arbuckle's involvement in the Virginia Rappe death scandal; it received its first release in Finland in 1924. The film finally saw an American release of sorts in 1981. Prints are held by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and Library of Congress. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
