A young lover is visiting the married woman he is wooing. the two sweeps cleaning the chimney are cramping his style, so he gives them some money to go away. When the woman's husband returns home unexpectedly, she hides him in the chimney.
Sounds good you say? Yep, a great set-up for a comedy, torturing the fellow with soot and falling into a pot of boiling water and such like that there. The husband can get his revenge for a reel, maybe two or three, without ever knowing it's happening. Except that after one gag, it turns into a special effects movie that uses bits from 1898. All in all, a severe disappointment.
