The Cook
Directed by Roscoe Arbuckle
Produced by Comique Film Company
A lighthearted silent-era slapstick comedy about restaurant chaos and mishaps, driven by physical comedy and absurdist humor.
In an attempt at greater efficiency, the chef and waiter of a fancy oceanside restaurant wreak havoc in the establishment. Adding to the complications is the arrival of a robber.
