Filmed in just one afternoon at Echo Park in Los Angeles, this onereel comedy, which Chaplin called "continuous laugh throughout" in his autobiography, is a variation on the theme of the park, the policeman and the pretty girl.
Chaplin recounted that throughout the afternoon of filming he played a newly released ragtime piece: Too Much Mustard :    • Très Moutarde (Too Much Mustard) by C...   on whose notes Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers would dance 25 years later in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle .
Too Much Mustard is the first track that makes up the new soundtrack, the other tracks being, in order:
Pickles and Peppers by Adaline Shepherd (1906)
Red Peppers_ by Imogene Giles (1907)
Black Diamond Rag by Henry Lodge (1912)
