Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì
Fire
Fighters—cute, but a bit boring short silent film—has everything
necessary to make a good film, but falls flat in presentation. The young people
are good actors but there is no flare to the movie.

Storyline
Neighborhood children foil a bootlegger.
Additional Thanks
Thank you to Directors Robert F. McGowan and Tom McNamara for directing effort. Thank you to Producer Hal Roach for making the film possible.

Bacon (Ernest Morrison), Elmo Billings, Richard Billings, Betsy Ann Hisle, Kenneth Johnson, George Ward, Allen Farina Hoskins, and Dinah.
Maybe.
This film works as an academic study, but fails to provide real entertainment
value. It would fail even the younger child.
