There's an endearing quality about some of these old-fashioned shorts and this one from 1915 is no exception.
Mabel Normand and Fatty Arbuckle are neighbors on washing day. The simple device has both of them fed up with their annoying mates and meeting innocently on wash day when Arbuckle allows Mabel to use his wringer for her hubby's clothes. Jealousy rears its head and misunderstandings follow, especially after a day at the park involving a mix-up of purses that has the police joining in on a merry chase.
The usual blend of comedy and slapstick works well here with the park scene being the most enjoyable part of the short. Arbuckle and Normand obviously knew how to play comedy for the silents.
