A tramp sees a mattress in front of a shop. He crawls into it for a nap, only to find himself sewn into it and carried about town in this slapstick comedy.
Having just looked at a couple of superior Lepine slapstick movies from the period, I find myself mildly disappointed by this one, but am forced to admit that it is simply standard for the era: a couple of random actions, a couple of long-anticipated gags with slow payoffs by my standards... nothing that any other comedy film of the period wasn't doing. At a time when a film was three or four minutes long, characters were often forced to do nothing for long periods of time, to stand around inside a mattress without protest. Yeah, it's a funny thing to do, but only if there's a reason. At least, that's how I think.
