Most comments are dismissive of the first half of this short film. It consists of Fatty getting in his mother's way during washing day and listlessly smoking in bed (and we all know how THAT turns out!). Fatty tends to do more harm than good, in fact, and every time he seeks to correct one of his goofs the result is even worse. It's a quick but careful study in just how useless a person can become. All that changes, of course, when Fatty finds a resourceful (albeit illegal) way to get his money back from some con artists, and then is actually challenged to do some good. But for me, notwithstanding an inventive second half, that first half of the movie is what's fascinating.
