The idea here is pretty simple, but it is set up rather well, and thus the movie is amusing enough despite the limited material and running time. Early film-makers often made watchable pictures just by taking a basic idea like this, thinking of an appropriate setting, and pacing it out properly. Something like this might be used a brief scene in a movie of the present time, but in its own era it stands up well enough on its own.
The story starts with the shoe clerk waiting on a flirtatious young woman, and it then follows the subsequent developments. Nothing fancy or brilliant, but it did require some care, planning, and timing to make it work. It is also a very simple example demonstrating that it is possible to convey characters' amorous intentions by very simple means, without using explicit material.
