8/10
a little contrived but great fun
20 March 2006
Charlie Chase was a very prolific comedian of the early days of cinema--having appeared in over 250 shorts and full-length movies. However, today few would recognize his name.

This film features Charlie as a rich guy with an incredibly jealous wife (though looking at him, I just couldn't see what the fuss was all about--he was definitely NOT a "lady killer"). Well, through a series of odd coincidences, it appears that Charlie is cheating and he spends most of the film doing everything he can to convince his wife of his fidelity. This is pretty funny--especially when the butler and a stray dog decide to help him. Although there is no way everything could have worked out like it did at the end of the film, if you turn off your brain and just watch you'll laugh and have a great time.
