Note that this comedy short included a sequence where Charley Chase dresses as a woman (it was a comedy staple of the silent days for male comics to appear in drag, not as transvestites, but as a form of disguise, and another sequence where Chase loses his bathing suit at the beach and puts a barrel around his middle, and this image was the one chosen for the one-sheet).
