On The Jump

From the 2 minutes 50 seconds of footage I have availble for review:

People are at the train station saying goodbyes to their loved ones. A man barges past with a large instrument, whilst detective Snub bums a light from a crying man. Snub misses the train and has to run after it.
A couple check into a hotel and the desk clerk (WILLIAM GILLESPIE) rings for the four bellhops who are busy playing cards. One of them is HAROLD LLOYD who seemingly loses a hand and pulls out a massive wad of notes from his jacket to pay the game.
A group of people, presumably hotel guests, get into an elevator. Harold begins flirting with BEBE DANIELS but another woman thinks he is smiling at her and responds in kind.
A guest (I think this is JAMES PARROTT) starts piling lots of baggage into Harold's arms before Harold attempts to get into the lift with the other guests but he drops them and walks away. A young girl (JUNE HOVICK) wanders into the lobby and hides inside one of the boxes. Harold struggles to hold some very large baggage before doing a brief dance around a large box and running into the arms of a nurse.
