"Like many early two-reel comedies, this earlier Harry Langdon short for Mack Sennett, plays out like two one-reel comedies attached at the hip, with only a thread of plot to connect them. The first reel takes place on a train, and is relatively generic, but the second half, in which Langdon has gone back to his old job as a policeman, is excellent and brimming with great performance moments from Langdon himself. The train reel's comedy is mainly rooted in basic upper-berth and lower-berth confusion and bits of slapstick (dropping water on other passengers, &c.) that is solid material..."

Although Alice Day is listed in the role of Langdon's wife in the scenario, examination of surviving stills confirms that the role was played by Marceline Day.
