The Villain Still Pursued Her
“Good to the Last Drop...of the Villain...the Girl...or Maybe the Scenery!”
1940•NR•1h 6m•5.2•Released
ComedyRomance
Victorian melodrama is sent up in this spoof of the old production "The Drunkard; or, The Fallen Saved." Dastardly villain Silas Cribbs schemes to get his lusty clutches on the virtuous heroine by driving her naïve husband to alcoholic ruin. Luckily, a temperance lecturer is on hand to set things straight, as is Buster Keaton as William Dalton, the drunkard's friend.
