This is a super-early film from 1901. And, compared to most other films of the day, this is a very good film. In general, "films" of the day were little more than one to two minute clips of ordinary people doing very ordinary things or fast images of action that didn't tell a story. In fact, scripts, plots and decent acting were really NOT trademarks of early films. The students I teach have described many of them as being "craptastic"--because they just aren't much fun to watch--even to Cinephiles and historians.
However, this film HAS a plot (simple though it is) and sets and tells a cute little racy story about a hotel worker that loves to peep on his guests. The camera shows a keyhole image and we are treated to one woman in partial undress and another with a woman and her beau kissing. Ultimately, though, he is caught and gets what's coming to him! Cute, inconsequential but fun.
