William Heise and W.K.L. Dickson worked together to record this short for Edison Laboratories. In it, one of the co-workers, Fred Ott, places a bit of something in his nose, making him sneeze.
This was one those early shorts, that the Edison group made, where they were basically just messing around. The guys seemed to always be looking for something funny or original to film, and often turned to the men that worked around them to star in front of the camera. This was one of the earliest close-ups, Ott's entire face taking up much of the screen.
