Allured by the sound of fire engines, Tom Smith (Harold Lloyd Jr.) secretly suffers an insatiable obsession with blazing infernos — until a serial arsonist strikes and Tom stands out as the obvious choice for prime suspect. Shortly after relocating to a small town, Tom forms a flame fetish friendship with his employer, Mr. Chalmers, but when locals get wind of Tom’s compulsion, pyromania and paranoia threaten to burn his world to the ground. —flixster
