What Is The Rogue About?

The premise of The Rogue without spoilers.

West portrays a timid servant in a noisy boarding house managed by a larger‑than‑life landlady who evokes the comic styles of Alice Davenport, Marie Dressler and Hattie Jacques. The plot thickens when he encounters a phony aristocrat, played by White, and becomes tangled in the farcical chase for a stolen violin worth $20,000.
