A whimsical silent-era comedy built around an absurd mechanical invention, where slapstick chaos and industrial ingenuity collide in a cheerful, fast-paced romp.

Charley invents a machine that turns ordinary, breakable eggs into rubbery, unbreakable ones for transport. He builds a Rube Goldberg contraption of parts stolen from his neighbors. Rival egg companies want his invention, one of them stooping to sabotage to get it.
