Some cute gags in this two-reel short, based on a switch of the prince and a pauper. There's quite a bit of just plain slapstick (a kick in the rear is the best way to get rid of someone, apparently).

The most plot-driven thing Lloy'ds been in to this point--that's probably part of why the comedy feels more spread out than usual. It's not as energetic as a lot of his others from about this point, but there are a few nice gags, at least.
