This Mack Sennett directed film is pretty good but it's VERY rushed--mostly because films were very, very brief back around 1912.
The film begins with a man getting VERY chummy with the maid and his wife catches them--and fires the maid. Only seconds later, the wife is making her moves on her husband's male secretary. The husband finds out and fires him. A bit later, the two ex-employees concoct a plan--to photograph themselves with their ex-employers in a compromising position and blackmailing them to take them back.
This film could have been funny but instead just seemed really, really too fast and allowed no time for reactions or subtlety. Worse yet, the big confrontation scene at the end happened way too quickly. Overall, an okay film but nothing more.
