    Like Lightweight American Comedies of the Time
    The plot here is quite simple. It's the Laurel and Hardy or W. C. Fields plot where someone wants to do some work, but everything seems to be there to distract him. But here, the neighbors bring up another roadblock. It is pretty crude but it does have some physical humor. Different than the dark Japanese pieces I watched leading up to this.
