Plot
A young man falls in love with his mother's kitchen maid, Mabel. But his mother objects strongly, and arranges for him to meet another young woman whom she considers more suitable.
Sinekatalog’s take
A kitchen maid is loved by her employer's son while his mother schemes to separate them. The short is a pleasant, fast-moving silent comedy built on class mismatch. Enjoyable for fans of slapstick-era romance.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
