    • Trivia
      Several comics of the silent era did variations on the "mannequin leg" gag in which someone mistakes a mannequin leg for a real woman's leg. Mabel Normand put a unique twist on the gag for her version by deliberately pretending the fake legs were real.

    The Queen of Comedy rules
    Petite, graceful Mabel Normand stars as gawky, clumsy Maymee Ladd, a beaten down shopgirl who is told that she is possessed by the spirit of a Spanish temptress ("That will be five dollars, please") and goes in search of love and adventure. A star vehicle, pure and simple, it showcases Mabel's talents quite beautifully and has a number of good laughs based on her character's awkwardness.
