Synopsis

The pared down school budget just won't accommodate Miss Harris' course in the great silent movie comedies.

The students, however, are fascinated by the subject, and decide to make a movie on their own.

Then the self-appointed head of the economy committee starts looking for a victim, and Miss Harris and these clever and creative kids find themselves in a madcap scramble worthy of Max Sennett or Chaplin himself!
