A Mr. & Mrs. oversleep, then the Mr. attempts to make his Mrs. breakfast in bed before heading off to work. A lost silent comedy that turned up on eBay in 2011 without its opening titles, and one of the last films made by Henry Murdock (he choked to death unexpectedly at the end of 1928). Musical score by Ben Model © 2012 all rights reserved. Transferred from a sharp old 16mm print; stick with it to the end -- there's a great gag payoff to the Mrs' bon-bon eating throughout the film.
