Allez Oop is a 1934 American short comedy film starring Buster Keaton. [1] It was the second film Keaton made for Educational Pictures. [2]
Elmer ( Buster Keaton) works at a clock repair shop and falls for a woman named Paula ( Dorothy Sebastian), a customer who brings in her watch to be fixed. Eventually, Elmer invites Paula to go to the circus with him, where she soon becomes enamored with the lead trapeze artist ( George J. Lewis). In an effort to win her heart, Elmer attempts to become an expert in acrobatics as well by practicing in his backyard with a swing and mattress, but with very little success. In the end, though, he is able to show his true mettle, performing amazing athletic feats in order to save Paula from a deadly fire. [2]
