The Bell Boy is a short film produced and released in 1918 by the Comique film company.[2]d

The film stars Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton as bellboys in Elk's Head Hotel. They cause trouble with each other and guests. The elevator is powered by a stubborn horse, a sham robbery turns into a real one, and there is a chase on a runaway trolley. Much of the material in this film was later re-used by Keaton in his 1937 film "Love Nest On Wheels". One sequence involving a mop was reused by Keaton in his last film appearance, in The Scribe.
