'The Flirt' is a 1917 American short comedy film featuring Harold Lloyd. Copies of the film survive in the film archives of the Museum of Modern Art and the British Film Institute.
Plot
Harold Lloyd plays an incorrigible skirt-chaser who follows a pretty girl from a park to her place of employment as a cashier in a restaurant. He orders a huge meal and then proceeds to get the waiter fired so he can take his place. In a short time Lloyd creates mayhem that annoys both the restaurant's customers and its kitchen staff. Lloyd eventually learns that the cashier is married to the proprietor of the restaurant. He then quickly leaves, sees another pretty girl, and follows her down the street.
Cast
