Plot
Two card players get into a quarrel; a gardener who was watering plants near them, seeing them both fighting, directs his hose at the two combatants, who are immediately separated by this unexpected shower.
Sinekatalog’s take
A tiny comic actuality in which a gardener's hose breaks up a card-table quarrel. Simple and funny, it is a good example of how little cinema needed to get a laugh at the start.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
