Andre Deed was a leading player in short Italian comedies in this period under the character name of Cretinetti, and Italian slapstick was much rougher and far more bone-breaking than anything Americans would regularly view. In this one, he is sewing his pants until his fiancée appears with his prospective father-in-law, so he puts his pants on, only to discover that the needle is still in the pants and takes every chance to stick him painfully.
