Albert Burdon stars as an inept window cleaner with a funny mustache. He and his girlfriend, a house maid played by Renee Gadd, stumble onto a jewel robbery at a swanky masquerade party after they have crashed the party dressed up as ... a window clear and a house maid!
Directed by Lupino Lane, the film features several extended silent sequences accompanied by sound effects. Lane had had an extensive career as a silent film comedian. Burdon, did not appear in silent films, but he sort of resembles Lane (with touches of Monty Banks and Charlie Chaplin) in the silent scenes. While the plot isn't much, there are some delightful scenes, such as the extended dance Burdon and Gadd do.
Co-stars include Molly Lamont as the swanky Lady Anne, Henry Mollison as the lead crook, Syd Crossley as the butler, Ethel Warwick as the housekeeper, and Toni Edgar-Bruce as the duchess.
The best sequence has Burdon and Gadd in a movie theater, sitting next to a rubber-faced old lady, with a cat under their feet.
