Second viewing; previously viewed on February 22, 2020 (and unreviewed at that occasion); both viewings were of the same incomplete version (I don't know whether a complete version of this film still exists)
Two rivals are visiting a young lady. One is thin, the other is fat. The other characters are the lady's father, who is ill with gout, a servant, a dog and a monkey. There is a storm which shakes and moves the house.
Apparently all that was missing from the version I saw was the mid-section, since the film seems to begin and end in the right place, but there is a jump in continuity in the middle.
This is an utterly forgettable yet watchable slapstick comedy.
Rating: 32
