X perfect gale of comedy of the we'll
 beloved Mack Sennett variety of fun
 making makes up Love, Honor and

 Sennett comedy with connected plot. The idea at the bottom of all the trouble Sennett characters are always in trouble, is that some <dastardly black niailers get a poor innocent judge into some compromising positions and take some snapshots that do not exactly fit in with the general idea of judge s dignity. The fun is furnished by the positions, which are ridiculously and ob- viously compromising, the attempts to blacbmai and subsequent chasing of the biackmaiers.
