The Royal Four-Flusher

by Arthur Hurley, directed by Murray Roth

Sadly, I haven’t found a copy of this short talkie from Columbia. It may have time travel, but I think it’s unlikely because the hero is transported to a land of kings and queens and fair maidens, which from its description, seems like a fantasyland more than a point in our timeline.

This first of the two Waxwork horror films has secondary worlds, but no time travel. Move along to Waxwork II.

I hear you were having drinks with the butler the other night. Now, you know that sort of thing leads to anarchy.
