Chester Conklin and Marie Prevost are the featured players, Conklin in his usual funny makeup and Marie in various stages of dishabille. The ram is introduced right at the start and butts into the story, completely obliterating all signs of plot. The film winds up with a chase, but not one of the usual variety. There are the two automobiles and the motorcycle, but the chase is through the pouring rain. This lends divers additional opportunities for originality in the way of gags, which Directors Eddie Cline and Clarence Badger have utilized with uproarious results.
