Cleaning Time

• Watchlist

John Herringbone is a great man, at least he thinks so, and he has taught his wife to be a strong-minded woman. She proves to be more than that at house cleaning time by insisting on John doing the scrubbing. Poor John, try as he may, things will go wrong with him, so when he breaks up the family crockery and empties the dirty water into the family wash, it's too much for his better half and he gets the life pounded out of him. He is afterwards put to watering the lawn, an occupation which proves to be his downfall. For when he sees a young lady lift her skirts too high he gets so careless with the hose that he gives several people a drenching with bad results.
