第6話: キートンがモリスに偽作を強要されるフィンチングフィールドの建物から、近視の画家ダグラスを救出する

6

At a building in Finchingfield, Keaton attempts to rescue elderly artist Douglas, who has extreme myopia. Unfortunately, bodyguard Morris forces Douglas to forge a painting by Edgar Degas for art dealer Clifford Ferris. Keaton is captured by Morris, who injures Keaton's shin with a paddle before leaving. Keaton uses Douglas's easel to create an impromptu splint. Although Douglas has little interest in escaping, he secretly has sketched the scenery of the Scottish Highlands. Douglas developed myopia as a boy due to his love for drawing, but he eventually forged paintings for work as a man after his sketches did not bring him much income. He felt confident after forging a painting by Vincent van Gogh, but he began having recurring nightmares of walking aimlessly in a strange forest as a boy. However, he later had a dream that he found a mountain path outside the forest, resulting in his sketch of the Scottish Highlands. Explaining that humans have a passion for taking what is seen and expressing it in their own style, Keaton fills up a light bulb with charcoal and oil thinner and stuffs it inside a bust, fooling Morris into an explosion when he arrives. Keaton and Douglas try to escape with the sketch, but Clifford shoots at them. Clifford impales Douglas with his rifle, and Douglas's eyesight is miraculously restored, only for Clifford to destroy the sketch. Keaton and Douglas work together to knock out Clifford before they drive off from the burning building. (Source: Wikipedia)
