Newlyweds Harold and Katharine are trying to figure out a very crucial task - the act of getting sexually intimate with each other.

The film employs stop-motion visuals and elements of a silent film to bring its reality to life and does so with ease. The performances keep the pace and narrative swift and tight, allowing the viewer to be entertained by the many antics and misadventures of the characters.
The end result is entertaining and consistent with its approach, and leaves the viewer amused at the fate of the newlyweds, with an eventual answer regarding whether or not they succeed in their quest to consummate their marriage nestled within its conclusion.
