It's a little hard to judge this late Mutual or early Triangle Keystone. Between some obvious trimming to deal with decomposition, the whole thing seems to have been cut down to one reel and the only titles available are flash Czech titles, so it seems as if this health spa urges its overweight guests to exercise harder by having them pursued by a bear. A small bear, but a bear nonetheless who went by the professional name of Bruno.
Given that Bruno does most of the amusing things in this picture, things one does not normally expect a bear to do, including bobsledding, while the rest of the cast jumps around and runs away... Well, that's about it. The decomposition and re-editing destroy the usual Keystone editing, and make the whole thing of little interest. I can only hope that Bruno had a good agent.
