Buster Brown plays a practical joke on his mother, persuading her to to put her hands into a pan of lobsters, then puts a bunch of them in his father's bed. They made two versions of this gag. One where a lobster is pinching his butt, the other not. This one has the lobster clawing his backside.
Buster's Joke on Papa (I) (1903) is currently not available on any services.
