Tickets are available through the Fine Arts Ticket Office at (801) 422-4322 or by visiting performances.byu.edu for $9 or $6 with student or BYU ID.

“Safety Last” follows a country boy, played by Lloyd, who heads to the city to find success. While working as a lowly store clerk in a department store, the boy arranges for his friend, a “human fly,” to climb the outside of the building as a publicity stunt to bring more customers to the store.

However, the “human fly” is a criminal and is captured by the police. Lloyd the clerk must then make the climb himself which results in hilarious stunts, ending with the famous clock scene.
