Was That The Good China?
The gentleman and wife are at the table, the serving maid is serving them, and the kitchen maid busts every piece of crockery when anyone comes in. Then she finds some more and washes it, so she'll have clean dishes to break when anyone else comes in.
That's the joke in this split-reel comedy, and that's all there is to it. Original screen comedies were rather sparse in this period. Part of the reason is that you can't do much in four minutes. So there was the comic chase, in which people ran after someone or something and fell down a lot; the practical joke; and the impermissible, in which someone does something they shouldn't.
I expect that the audience of the era, which was largely the class of the upset kitchen maid rather than her employers, took some satisfaction in her actions. They provided the motive from their own lives.
