Farcical comedy. Max Miller, as Herbert Cronkite, is a Smithfield meat porter who made to think that he has drowned a man and so goes on as a tramp, eventually becoming a butler in a country house in Sussex. The few opening Smithfield and waterside scenes are made with an air of some reality and the butlering scenes give Max Miller opportunities for knockabout humour and a few digs at the huntin' and ridin' crowd - not very much is made of his fear of arrest. The situations include a bedroom scenes and a farcical hunt. As a whole the film is amusing although the humour is ponderous.
