Leap Year is an American silent comedy film directed by and starring Roscoe Arbuckle and James Cruze.
Inside the house, Jeremiah Piper, Stanley’s uncle, who is gouty, grouchy and a girl-hater, is being looked after by his nurse, Phyllis Brown.
He decides to send Stanley on a fishing trip to keep him away from women as he falls in love with every woman he meets.
Stanley is unable to state is case, his stutter making him momentarily speechless until Mumford gives him water when he tells her it’s a base falsehood and he can prove it.
When this doesn’t work, fate intervenes, and the three women find welcome distractions in the form of the other characters.
