One of the excellent and innovative comedies that Roscoe Arbuckle directed and starred in during his last couple of years at Keystone. Although for his own starring vehicles for Comique he retreated to simpler plotting and camera work, in these, he experiments with lighting, camera movement. elaborate plotting and fairly elaborate gag sequences, as opposed to his artful toss-them-off technique in his Comique vehicles -- but then, he didn't have Buster Keaton to play against at Keystone.In this one he is well supported, as usual, by Mabel Normand. Ford Sterling, in his Dutch Comic makeup, snarls his way amusingly through the piece also. In fact, Sterling steals the entire movie.... or perhaps Roscoe lets him have it.
