Cretinetti is about to get married and he could not be any happier and more in love with his Junoesque consort. But just on the day of his wedding, he reads a notice on the wall explaining how to behave in the case of an enemy air raid.

In the end, the gendarmes go to him with a conscription notice and take him away under coercion, under the appalled gaze of his new bride.

Italian short comedy

Две девушки влюбились и готовы вырвать друг другу волосы за внимание Кретинетти. Кому достанется красавчик Кретинетти? Это решит дуэль эмансипированных девиц!

Andre Deed was a leading player in short Italian comedies in this period under the character name of Cretinetti, and Italian slapstick was much rougher and far more bone-breaking than anything Americans would regularly view. In this one, he is sewing his pants until his fiancée appears with his prospective father-in-law, so he puts his pants on, only to discover that the needle is still in the pants and takes every chance to stick him painfully.

Cretinetti wakes up in the middle of his sleep and finds himself in outlandish situations, walking through a mirror and falling through the roof.

Кретинетти это такой персонаж актера Андре Дида. Очень популярный. Попадал во всякие неловкие ситуации, как правило по собственной глупости, отсюда и имя персонажа. Как у любого популярного персонажа у него было много подражателей в разных странах. В англосаксонских странах под именем Фулхеда (Дурень), в России - Глупышкин и т.п. В этой ленте Кретинетти отправился поохотится со своим приятелем, заядлым охотником, и его любвеобильной женушкой. Для кого-то охота оказалась удачной, а кому-то сильно не повезло...

Кретинетти со множеством поручений спешит на Рождество. Гости уже собираются и главное доставить ёлку…

Cretinetti meddles with things and lands into trouble every time, having his head forged on an anvil and falling into a pit on a construction site.

André Deed is tired of being beat up, so a strong man has no trouble selling him one of the springs with handles at either end. When I was a kid, exercise mavens like Jack Lalanne would sell them, only made out of rubber. Anyway, Deed alternates exercising with this device and getting beat up on by almost everyone for the length of this one-reel comedy.

Cretinetti fails as an amateur thief.

Обладая удивительной способностью ускользать из самых затруднительных ситуаций, Кретинетти не спешит расплатиться со своими кредиторами. В дореволюционной России герой Андре Дида Кретинетти, или как его называли у нас Глупышкин, пользовался несравненной популярность. Разбирая работы тогда еще молодого Чаплина, журнал «Проектор» писал: «У нас в России Чаплин не может иметь такого успеха: он слишком груб, слишком примитивен, слишком мало изящен. Такие комики, как Макс Линдер, Пренс, Паташон, даже Андре Дид, нам несравненно ближе и понятней».

Finally he gets a good beating for his pains, assaults the police and is arrested.

In this picture we see a man who is vested with authority to enforce the law, but, unlike the usual sort of men occupying the same position, he is so kind-hearted that ofttimes he is governed by his sentiments, and is very indiscreet in meting out just punishment to offenders, He is patrolling in the country, where lawbreakers are not numerous, but once in a while it will happen that somebody is guilty of an act that is not just in keeping with propriety. His first duty is to arrest a pair of lovers whom he catches kissing, but when he comes upon the love-sick couple, and threatens to arrest them, his heart is softened by their tears, so he allows them to go their way with some good advice.

Next he prostrates a street cleaner and a painter perched on a ladder, as well as a woman in charge of a newsstand. They all succumb and fall over unconscious on the ground. He enters the subway and meets a man coming up the stairs, and when the latter gets a whiff of the garlic he too, goes down in a heap. Entering the car in the underground road he proceeds to waft the strong odor over the passengers, with the effect that each in turn goes down and out on the floor of the coach. When he reaches the next station he alights, leaving the car looking more like a hospital than anything.

Jim's mother brings him to an architect's office to secure a position for him, and he is accepted. After clinging lovingly to his ma, he is induced to abandon his strangle hold, and he is taken into the drafting room. Here two clerks make merry with him, but he managed to even matters unconsciously by leaning on the heavy end of a table, upsetting it and all on it. Now his employers tell him to carry a set of plans, papers and instruments, with which he is to accompany them to a building. In the course of construction, Jim reaches to the top of a closet for some of the papers, upsets it, breaks some more furniture and finally reaches the street, struggling under a mass of paraphernalia, with which he strews his path as he goes.

The first scene presents before the astonished eyes of the spectators a solid piece of marble, which the minute it is placed on a table seems to take life, and one can follow a snake-like line branding on the polished face of the stone the name of the house of Pathé Frères. As soon as this stone has been engraved, as by magic, a handsome young lady appears with a huge lump of clay covered with a cloth. As soon as the cloth is removed from the soft mass it starts whirling and turning as if stricken mad, and one is asking one's self what all the contentions are going to lead to, when the vague shape of an animal not yet discernible seems to appear, and before one has time to make one's mind as to the category of brutes to which it belongs one sees the form of a remarkably well made orang-utan modelled out of the clay, who calmly smokes his pipe. Then the statue is removed by the same winning young lady and another covered block of the same substance is carried forward.
