Plot
An extremely clumsy man tries to clean a woman's house with disastrous results.
Sinekatalog’s take
A slapstick one-gag comedy of a clumsy man wrecking a woman's house in the name of cleaning. Quick and cheerfully destructive, it is of interest mainly as an early model of chaos-driven screen comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
