A Reckless Rover is an American 1918 short comedy film produced by Ebony Film Corporation and starring Sam Robinson. The film is extant.
Waking to find that his landlady has called in a policeman to collect his overdue rent, the slothful but cunning Rastus Jones (Sam Robinson) slips out the window and hides out in a Chinese laundry, where he proceeds to cause chaos.
The July 6, 1918 edition of the Exhibitors Herald reviewed the film, stating that: "The company of negro players, reinforced by a number of new faces, succeeds in introducing what is said to be some of the liveliest comedy ever seen in a production of this character, with its slapstick humor developed to the highest pitch of interest. The leading comedian has been given a greater opportunity than ordinarily."
