This is a very funny short film by Alice Guy. A rich lady takes her maid with her to the post office. Why? Well, to have her lick all the stamps her mistress will be affixing to a bunch of letters. This goes on for a very long time and it's pretty funny. However, when a pervert happens upon the scene a few minutes later, it all gets very crazy--and very creative. I won't say more--I don't want to spoil it.
Even with a simple stationary camera and a simple plot, this film manages to pack a good laugh and holds up far better than most comedies from the early 20th century. Too bad it's so short, but then, at that time they almost all were. Well worth seeing.
