A lighthearted silent-era comedy about friendship and distraction, where a simple jigsaw puzzle derails a wedding through escalating absurdity and physical humor.

On the morning of his wedding to oil baron Peter Cucumber's daughter, Ollie receives a jigsaw puzzle from Stan as a wedding gift. The boys soon become absorbed in the puzzle. A taxi driver, butler, policeman and messenger boy join in as well.
