A wonderful film in which the people work and move so quickly, that it makes the heart sick to think that one day we might have to do the same. A clock, in a certain family, gets out of order, and the hands develop a frightful tendency to move round at an abnormal pace. This affects the household, causing them to do likewise. The clock is taken to be repaired, and the complaint attacks the clockmaker so vitally that the repairs are done in no time. The clock, however, has not lost its power, and as the owner speeds back with it, the effect on everyone who gets near it is fearful. This film is absolutely filled with laughter producing situations.
