Don't Give Up

"Don't Give Up" is one of four short comedies which starred Buster West and featured his father, John. Buster went on to make about 20 more shorts during the 30s on his own though neither achieved much in the way of notariety in films, though they had worked together in Vaudeville.

Buster plays a really annoying masher who spends the early part of the film bothering women. Not surprisingly, one of the women gets the cops on Buster and they take him to headquarters. However, inexplicably, the DIstrict Attorney didn't seem to care that the guy was a pervert and instead enlists his aid to follow a gangster's girlfriend in the hope that she'll lead him to her infamous and wanted boyfriend. Unfortunately, Buster follows the wrong woman and spends much of the rest of the film pestering her....and who the woman turns out to be in mildly funny.

This film doesn't make any sense and it's mostly unfunny....and there really isn't much more to say about it.
