Plot

Newlyweds are given a build-it-yourself house, but a rival has scrambled the numbers on the crates. Edward F. Cline co-directed.

Sinekatalog’s take

Buster Keaton's short comedy of newlyweds and a mis-numbered build-it-yourself house is inventive and hilarious. Packed with brilliant stunts and visual gags, it is one of the silent era's perfect shorts.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
