There is not enough surviving footage of this Fred Evans Pimple comedy to say much about it.
Although the National Film and Television Archive catalogue has a 1914 date for
the film, it seems likely to be earlier. It almost certainly followed the
pattern of Pimple and the Snake (1912) or Pimple's Motorbike (1913), with a
simple set-up - in this case Pimple teaching a fat man how to ride a bike -
followed by a series of incidents in which they crash into innocent bystanders
and tradespeople before they are stopped and retribution is exacted. This
usually involves some kind of physical punishment much in the way of comic strip
characters being whacked for some misdemeanour. The deliberate misspelling
of W-H-ORK, with the extra 'h', is a feature that crops up in Pimple
films occasionally, although the reason is obscure.
