Of Minimal Interest
This short comedy offers little of interest, and is hardly one of the better movies even of its own time. It's essentially a one-gag film, and if it has any usefulness now it is simply as one of the many lesser attempts to work with the genres and techniques of the era. The main character was something of a stock figure in its time, and both tramps and trains were staples of the era, so this may have made it a little more interesting to its original audiences.
The story follows a central tramp character (known in different releases as Nervy Nat or Weary Willie) who sneaks onto a train and tries to take advantage of a young bride. Although there are a couple of moments when the tramp character shows a bit of flair, in general both the character and his actions are unpleasant. Although he has a little bit of energy, he lacks the poignant, sympathetic side of the tramp characters that greats such as Chaplin would play later on.
