The Railroad Porter was a short comedy about a railroad porter who leaves to go on his run one day. While he is gone his wife invites a waiter home for dinner. The porter returns home to find this man sitting at his table and eating his food. Mad and insulted, the porter gets his pistol and chases the man out of his house. The waiter goes and gets his gun, comes back, and chases the porter. Fortunately, both are terrible shots and no one gets hurt. The film's style has often been compared to that of the Keystone Kops comedies of the same period.
