Comment/Synopsis

A newly married couple are givena house that can be constructed from a kit as a wedding present only the grooms rival is out to sabotage the build. This film is typical of so many of Buster Keatons films that are a series of physical jokes rather than any great plot. All the visual jokes are done by Buster Keaton himself with full size props including the rotating house and the train crashing through the house. The was the first film that Buster Keaton directed.
