Despite Fatty Arbuckle's career mostly being over by the early 1930s due to an infamous sex scandal, this short proves that even just 4 months before his death, he still found the passion to be entertaining. The plot begins with him leaving his mother's farm and going into the city in a noisy jalopy. He has with him a chemical that he claims can make fine plates, vases, and other delicate objects indestructible. However, in his hurry to get out of the house, he brings a jar of cider and leaves the chemical behind. A beehive then falls into his car on his way to the city and he throws it to some football players who mistake it for a football. When one of the bees is swallowed by Arbuckle, he tries to get a bartender to fix him by holding his mouth open while the other guy lures the bee out with a sugary treat. After the bee emerges and flies in his mouth instead, the football players storm the bar and request assistance after being stung numerous times. Arbuckle then makes his way to a shop that sells china and vases. Upon attempting to impress the storeowner by coating the objects in his "chemical" and then trying to smash them, Arbuckle finds to his horror that the objects are able to be broken. Someone catches up to him and says he left the real chemical at home, and he's been coating the things in cider. After the chemical still fails to make things unbreakable, a fight erupts in the store as Arbuckle, the store owner, and someone hauled away by the cops earlier (for following Arbuckle) throw plates and things at each other. Arbuckle then manages to escape in a vehicle resembling a bathtub with a propeller on the back, alongside a dog. This is the first Fatty Arbuckle film I've seen so far, but for him, it was his last. While I didn't find the short that funny, I have to admire how Arbuckle was daring enough to release films under his own name after the scandal which basically put an end to his career. Many think that he died a forgotten entertainer, but he was on his way to fame again right when he died, and had actually signed to do a Warner Bros movie the same day. We'll never know what this might have looked like, something that sadly applies to most things he was in. Producers in this era didn't really like keeping film around after it had been completed, so many films containing Arbuckle are gone for good, and this is compounded by the fact that studios didn't want to hold onto films starring an alleged rapist. Even though he was arguably the first movie star to fall victim to a sex scandal, Arbuckle's films are up there with the likes of Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and other physical comedy geniuses. It's not surprising he basically taught them all in the art of making people laugh. One other thing, the dog in this short is the same one from The Little Rascals.
