Accordingly, the family reverses its treatment of him and all, together, begin to live the life of Riley.
His would be the lot of an overworked “Cinderfella” had the father not found the misappropriated letter, opened it, read of an inheritance and assumed the beneficiary to be his son-in-law. Keaton’s new wife takes him home to her father and brothers, all of who mistreat him terribly. Because the celebrant doesn’t speak English, he in turn assumes they are the couple desperate to make their vows and marries them accordingly. Keaton’s attempt to flee the scene of the crime is obstructed by a big fat burly beast of a woman who has witnessed the flying projectile, assumed Keaton to have been responsible for it and marched him in to face the wrath of the owner of the property.
Keaton is left with a letter whose addressee is encrypted in the smudged details on the envelope, and the postman throws something at Keaton which, like the letter, misses its destination, and breaks the window of a neighbouring building – the building, no less, where the celebrant of the second situation awaits his clients. In the first situation, Keaton’s collision with the postman has two outcomes, both of which drive the narrative on. In the second situation, a couple “speaking” Polish call a celebrant on the telephone to ask if he is available to marry them forthwith. In the first situation, Keaton, playing a sculptor, vigorously absorbed by the demands of his work, accidentally collides with a postman.
