There is not much of a plot to this film. A very young Charley Chase is a starving artist. He does not have much luck stealing fruit from a food vendor's cart. He cannot escape from his landlady, who wants the overdue rent. When a pretty girl shows up, Charley and his downstairs neighbor, who is a weightlifter, compete for her affections.The title refers to Charley's revenge on the food vendor. Rather than shooting the poor guy with a gun, Charley empties the bullets into the roasting peanuts! The bullets start flying, and the whole cast runs for cover.Since there are not that many real gags, and the characters are standard Sennett types who mostly run around and act silly, the film is not that funny. On the other hand, if you are a Charly Chase fan, you should catch this one just to appreciate his development as a comedian.
