How a Mosquito Operates

19126 min6.3 / 10

A playful, early silent-film comedy built on the escalating cat-and-mouse chase between a determined mosquito and a sleeping man.

A hungry mosquito spots and follows a man on his way home. The mosquito slips into the room where the man is sleeping, and gets ready for a meal. His first attempts startle the man and wake him up, but the mosquito is very persistent.
