This film tells the story of a businessman who changes his Summer underwear to Winter garments. After putting on his woolen union suit he discovers that in the weaving certain particles have adhered to the wool which causes an itching sensation, compelling him to scratch. He visits his office. While attempting to transact business he finds the irritation too much for him and tries to relieve himself. His scratching becomes contagious, and his clerks are afflicted in a like manner. He enters a street ear. All the passengers are afflicted in the same manner, and he is forcibly ejected. He visits a theater, club room, and various other places, and the instant he starts scratching he is imitated by the different characters. At last in desperation, he rushes down the street and is confronted by a sign which is placed over some cotton underwear: “If wool scratches, use cotton.” Without waiting to purchase, he grabs a suit, and the irritated storekeeper gives chase. This film is all action and not a dull moment. The comedy is of the same high standard as all of the Essanay films. We are positive it will prove a great laugh.
