Plot.
"Grandpa sits nodding in his armchair in the kitchen, where a sout, jolly washerwoman is washing clothes. While the woman leaves the tub to talk to a book agent, a small boy enters, and ties grandpa's chair to a towel which is hanging over the tub. The washerwoman begins vigorously wringing the clothes. The towel is drawn into the wringer, and as grandpa is sitting with his feet on the stove and the chair tilted back, a collision is brought about by the towel pulling grandpa and the tub together. This is a crowning success as a comic picture."—Edison Catalog

Wiki.
A Wringing Good Joke was directed by James H. One of the first examples of comic genre based on the theme of "disrespective kids", which will have such luck in cinema from the beginning, is White. The subject will be taken up in a way that is similar to the American Biography in As in a Looking Glass.
