At only a minute in length (actually pretty typical of films in 1898), just how many ADVENTURES can you have in a film?? Still, it is a cute little film that is clearly the work of the French master, Méliès.
A guy puts together a mannequin and the mannequin begins doing jerky things to him! It really has nothing to do with the mythical Swiss hero...but it is mildly funny and violent!
The director used many of his familiar camera tricks. He's certainly done better and this one is too short to see it as a must-see, but it's enjoyable and worth your time if you are fan of Méliès.
