Feet First is a 1930 American comedy film directed by Clyde Bruckman, starring Harold Lloyd, Barbara Kent, and Robert McWade. The film follows the misadventures of Harold Horne (played by Lloyd), a young man who dreams of being a successful businessman but finds himself bumbling his way through every opportunity that comes his way. The film opens with Harold working as a shoe salesman, but his dreams of success are fueled by his love for Peggy (played by Kent), a wealthy socialite. When an opportunity arises for Harold to make a big business deal with Peggy's father, he jumps at the chance, despite not knowing much about the real estate market.

Harold's misadventures begin as soon as he arrives at the meeting with Peggy's father, where he is mistaken for a professional athlete and given a large sum of money as a down payment on a piece of property. Despite his lack of knowledge about real estate, Harold is determined to make the deal work and impress Peggy.

As Harold navigates the complicated world of real estate, he finds himself constantly getting into precarious situations. He accidentally locks himself in a room with a lion, gets trapped in a moving elevator, and ends up hanging off the side of a building.

Along the way, Harold meets a con artist named Buckley (played by McWade), who tries to take advantage of Harold's naivete. Despite Buckley's schemes, Harold remains determined to make the deal work and impress Peggy, even when it means risking life and limb.

Feet First was one of the first films to use synchronized sound, which allows the characters to speak and sing on camera. The film also features a number of impressive stunts performed by Harold Lloyd himself, including hanging off the side of a building and being chased by a lion.

Overall, Feet First is a hilarious and entertaining film that showcases Harold Lloyd's talent for physical comedy and features some truly impressive stunts. Despite its age, the film holds up well and is still enjoyable to watch today.
