Anne's money is hidden inside a pillow that is given away for a charity bazaar. Four different parties try to find the pillow and buy it, only to realize the money is gone. The search leads to a cleaning establishment where, in a chaotic scene, pillows are torn apart, filling the air with feathers. After falling into a starch tank and being covered in flying feathers, the father is disguised as a "huge chicken". After being chased and taking refuge on an ostrich farm, the father is rescued, and the money is used by Anne for her honeymoon.
Directed by Walter Graham, Chicken Feathers leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Duffy, Anne Cornwall, Billy Engle — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1927.
