Flirty Four-Flushers is a 1926 comedy silent film[1] produced by Mack Sennett and starred by Eddie Cline and Billy Bevan.[2] Carl Harbaugh wrote the reelers of the film.[3] It was distributed by Pathé.[4] It was released on December 26, 1926.[5]

Peaches and Plumbers gave Bevan a chance to display his acting talent, and also both films were an even better showcase for Madeline Hurlock.[6]

Locations included Palisades Park, Ocean Blvd., Santa Monica, Hotel St. Catherine, Avalon and Catalina.[7] It is a remake of A Summer Tragedy (1910) and it is based on O. Henry.[7] Ruth Hiatt was originally considered for a role.[7]
