The slapstick in this short comedy is about average for its time, but the feature is more interesting as social commentary and/or as a reflection of social attitudes. In its original form, it might have been much more entertaining as comedy, since the movie is now quite scratchy and jumpy in the form in which it survives, such that many of the details have become obscured.
The story starts with an eviction notice being served upon a family that is determined not to leave their home, followed by an extended slapstick sequence as the police are summoned in an attempt to enforce the order. The movie clearly sides with the dispossessed family, depicting the forces of the law as being comically disorganized and unsympathetic.
The technique is thoroughly standard for the era, and the main reason why the movie might be of interest is in the implicit views that it reflects. It most likely expected many of the viewers in the audience to sympathize with the family's situation, through knowing of those who had experienced it, if not through personal experience.
