His Majesty, Bunker Bean

A gentle, good-natured silent comedy that breezes by with mild whimsy and an earnest belief in self-confidence.

His courage much bolstered by this revelation, Bean begins to deport himself with unaccustomed dignity and becomes a regular visitor to old Breede's estate, where he successfully courts the boss's daughter, "The Flapper."
