Comical domestic farce unfolds as Mr. Wigglesworth battles bent doors while Mrs. Wigglesworth frets about guests and tea. A barbered office scene and a dramatic door collapse culminate with the minister and wife arriving to an unexpected, slapstick tableau.
In a rural fable a mule and a tiny horse argue and stage a comic chase ending when a faster mounted rider collides with the street scene. The tale blends rural humor with a crash of wheels and a boastful dare to the grand house of Little Affairs.
A batch of fragmented humor clips recounts barbed humor about a New York trip with a fake twenty dollar bill, elk interactions in a park, a wheelings and dealings scene with a vampire, a reforming thief turned by a steak, and a farmer’s son signaling his father in the pigpen. The tone blends dated quips with brisk local-color vignettes and social satire.
