Plot

A drunken homeowner has a difficult time getting about in his home after arriving home late at night.

Sinekatalog’s take

A silent short with one performer, one house and a drunken battle against the furniture. The physical comedy is astonishing, with stairs, clocks and beds as foes. A must-see miniature masterclass in slapstick.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
