Well, it's basically ten minutes of minor variations on one joke: it's the dead of winter in Westcheser -- actually it looks like early March -- when her nephews arrive by train from Labrador, and they, being from the far north, think it is sweltering. They strip down to their shirtsleeves for the sleigh ride home. They go skating in their bathing suits and do belly flops over the ice into the water, and so forth, and so forth.
This is relieved, somewhat, by some nice location shooting, showing more normal people skating and playing field hockey. The cinematography is good, if a bit range bound in what had become the Thanhouser style and the editing is very lively for the era. However the single-joke nature of the movie renders it not terribly entertaining for the year when they invented the pie fight at Keystone.
