For Heaven's Sake

Opening Harold Lloyd’s first feature made for Paramount, Paul Weigel as the city missionary, Jobyna Ralston his daughter, then eventually to Lloyd as impossibly rich “Harold Manners,” expressing his wealth through cars, in For Heaven’s Sake, 1926.

Out of gratitude Jobyna Ralston (“the downtown girl”) has named her charity for money-soaked Harold (Lloyd) Manners, who is piqued because he wasn’t asked, but his view changes when he meets her and her minister father (Paul Weigel), to whom he gave the check, tries to explain, early in For Heaven’s Sake, 1926.

Whiz-bang stunt with a car and a train, after an elaborate chase in which Harold Lloyd, as filthy-rich “Harold Manners,” in the new ride he’s just casually purchased, picks up cops chasing bandits, in Lloyd’s first Paramount feature, For Heaven’s Sake, 1926.
