One Of Ben Turpin's Rare Vogue Comedies

Ben Turpin is a butcher who loves Gypsy Abbott. She cares for another, so Ben falls asleep and dreams he owns the mortgage on her home.

Ben worked at Essannay for ten years without gaining much traction. Then Chaplin came to the studio for a year, used Turpin in a few of his comedies, and suddenly Ben was in demand. California and Vogue Pictures beckoned, but although their low slapstick was right up their star's alley, they lacked good directors, who kept insisting on shooting him in long takes. Luckily, Sennett and fame soon beckoned.

It's hard to tell if this is actually as chaotic as it looks, or if generations of editing and re-editing have made it that way. There are goats, pantomime animals, and the one good gag, in which a safe cracker mesmerizes a safe into opening goes to some one else.
