Droll enough to stay watchable (silent cinema, I fully admit, can have a soporific effect) and visually quirky enough to keep you engrossed. Story-wise, something of a “whoopsie-daisy” fairy tale. A man can only marry his true love if he is employed as village parson, but in order to become parson he must marry the old crow widow of the previous parson. It is thought that she will soon kick-the-bucket and the kids will be happy, but she does not. Some Scooby Doo-like scenarios ensue.
