The film consists of an insane pregnant lady running about town acting on her insane cravings. When she sees a kid with candy, she steals it and eats it (the candy, not the kid!). When she sees a guy smoking, she takes his pipe and smokes. It's all rather silly and goes on for a bit while her befuddled husband (pushing a stroller) looks on and does nothing.
I almost wish I could just cut and paste Joeythebrit's review already here on IMDb. He summed up the film pretty well. While Alice Guy was a very accomplished director (making some of the world's first sound films in 1905!), this is not among her best work. There are three major problems. First, the actress (even by 1905's standards) overacts horribly. Second, the close-up shots, while appreciated, were poorly done. Third, and most importantly, the film wasn't all that funny. Still, I do give the film a 5 simply because it is about average for a film of the day in quality--despite its many limitations.
