Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Confident botany student Harold Bledsoe (Harold Lloyd) tries to help the San Francisco police department track down a dangerous criminal known as The Dragon.

Kitty Cameos: In one scene Harold and his officer friend Clancy (Noah Young) infiltrate the hideout of a Chinese gang. As they sneak around looking for a kidnapped man, a gray cat appears and walks away. Clancy follows the cat, leaving Harold confused as to his whereabouts.

Later when they reunite, a tabby cat is barely seen lying behind them next to an electric fan. We then see a shot of the cat, sleeping soundly.

Harold accidentally hits a light switch with his elbow and the fan comes to life, scaring the cat (or catching its tail in the blades, we are not shown which). The cat then jumps over their shoulders, scaring both of them.
