This print is featured as an unadvertised bonus to Kino's magnificent collection "The Movies Begin: A Treasury of Early Cinema"in the second volume, namely "The European Pioneers." The reason they call this an unadvertised bonus is because the print survives in a most blurry condition, thus it is below Kino's standard quality.
In this short film, some women are bathing when some hobos come along and steal their clothes. The women then go home wearing barrels. This film is slightly amusing, but today it doesn't get any laughs as it might have back in 1902. Note that this was done the same year as Melies' infamous "A Trip to the Moon." If that is the case then you can see that this kind of film might've been appreciated better if it had been made in an earlier year, say 1899 or 1898. But anyway, this film is mildly amusing today even if it was more entertaining in its day.
(Note: I plan to review all of the unadvertised bonuses at some point. This is the second of the ten, and the second one I've reviewed).
