An old maid comes into a photography studio for a portrait. There's a clock on the wall and a full length mirror, and you can probably guess what happens to them as she primps.
As the other reviewers have noted, the gags are old enough to be enshrined in sayings that are as old as can be. "A face that can stop a clock" is probably as old as houseclocks. Nonetheless, this early short with Edwin S. Porter and George Fleming directing is enlivened by the lady in the title role, and the gag that caps the expected one is performed with gusto, leg-waving and a showing of undergarments that leave little to the imagination.
