Max loses a fight with flypaper minutes before attending dinner with his fiance's parents. Some mildly comical moments in a story that Linder had visited before.

Sticking to Reality

In an era when American comedy was moving from primitively shot vaudeville scenes towards the brilliantly cut but emotionally retarded efforts of Mack Sennett, and most European comedies were casually tossed off bits of fluff like BOUT LE ZAN STEALS AN ELEPHANT, which may amuse the modern eye with its trained elephant doing tricks, we are confronted with the the exquisite comedy of Max Linder.
Max looks like a human being and acts like a human being and lives in an ordinary looking home and world surrounded by other ordinary human beings -- but, oh, does he gets into amusing messes! In this one, he gets attached to some flypaper in a middle-class home. His mortification is real and so is his comedy. Highly recommended
