An elderly man plagues a small boy by putting pepper all over his food and making him sneeze uncontrollably. Later that night when the man is asleep the boy sneaks into his room and puts pepper all over his clothes and possessions. The next morning sees the man unable to stop sneezing but it is not the frequency of the sneezing that is the real problem but rather the power.
Firstly you really need to try and ignore the performance of the young boy in this film because he is awful; and not by modern standards but by the standards of those around him as well. His fist waving at the dinner table is so unconvincing that I was laughing before the jokes started coming. Outside of this though (and he keeps mincing along in each scene) the film is actually pretty amusing and is a very good example of early special effects humour and the destructive sneeze gag that others continued to use afterwards. The various scenes of things falling apart are amusing and mostly very well done even if some are better than others. The final shot is a simple cut but it was delivered very sharply, well edited and in time with the music and it worked really well.
Worth seeing then because as well as having value as part of cinematic history in the UK, it is also genuinely quite amusing.
