Summary
The Bar Fly unfurls as a mischievous tableau in which a street‑wise monkey, self‑appointed as an illicit brewer, concocts a heady home‑made spirit that ensnares two hapless townsfolk. Their drunken pilgrimage home becomes a staggered odyssey, punctuated by a domestic showdown: one returns to a domestic sphere where his wife, armed with a rolling pin, awaits his inebriated return. Meanwhile, a squad of modern‑styled police descend upon the simian bootlegger’s hideout, executing a raid with the procedural precision of contemporary law enforcement. The film weaves slapstick, social satire, and a touch of animal anthropomorphism into a compact, visually driven narrative that revels in the absurdity of prohibition‑era excess rendered through a silent‑film aesthetic.
Synopsis
A monkey makes his own home brew and the two who drink too much of it finally manage to stagger home. One finds his wife waiting for him with a rolling pin. The "police" raid the bootlegger's place in regular modern fashion.
