Synopsis
Convict 13 (1920) is a Buster Keaton silent short you can watch online on iFILM — twenty minutes of deadpan slapstick from the dawn of cinema.
A hapless golfer gets knocked cold, swaps clothes with an escaped prisoner, and comes to behind bars as inmate number 13. A botched hanging, a full prison riot and a run of hand-built gags follow, with Keaton taking every fall himself and never cracking a smile. He co-directed with Edward F. Cline early in his stretch as his own boss, just after parting ways with Fatty Arbuckle. Sybil Seely co-stars. Stream Convict 13 online on iFILM.
