All Aboard is a 1917 American short comedy film starring Harold Lloyd.[1]

Plot

A father takes his daughter on a trip to Bermuda in an attempt to separate her from a suitor. Little does anyone know that the suitor has stowed away on board. When he is discovered, he is credited with catching a crook. The hapless hero receives a reward, and also the girl.

Cast

Reception

Like many American films of the time, All Aboard was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required the cut of the scene with the woman rolling on the man and of the woman in hallway with her nightgown raised, exposing her legs.[2]
