I love silent comedy shorts. But when it came time to see it, I saw two huge problems with this Sennett comedy---the print was so badly faded and blurry it was hard to read the intertitle cards and the film seemed choppy....as if parts of it are missing. So, whether or not you decide to watch, keep these things in mind.
The story is a choppy and rather illogical mess. It doesn't really present a story...more amusing snippets. And, as such, it really doesn't make a lot of sense. The big finale involves a mousey looking guy boxing the champ, Spike, for $500. It's modestly funny...but no more.
