Frigo gets married and as a wedding gift the newlyweds
receive a prefabricated house, which they must
put together by themselves. The film is a good example
of how Keaton makes gags. Frigo’s character is usually
passive as he reacts to the comic situations rather than
creating them himself. The hilarity stems exactly from
his reactions and legendary deadpan face. In his films,
Keaton the director seems to be toying with Keaton the
character.
