About Double Trouble
A shy banker, described in the source as effeminate, takes a blow on the head and wakes with a second personality that flirts and takes risks. Christy Cabanne's comedy uses that split, a Jekyll-and-Hyde device, for a romance. Douglas Fairbanks plays the banker. It was his third film.
