What happens

A Noise from the Deep is a 1913 American short silent comedy film starring Mabel Normand and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. The film was directed and produced by Mack Sennett and also features the Keystone Cops on horseback. A Noise from the Deep still exists and was screened four times in 2006 in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City as part of a 56-film retrospective of all known surviving Arbuckle movies. The film is notable for being the first instance of throwing a custard pie in the face in a film, which was by Normand hitting Arbuckle squarely in the face. The film was also reissued several years after its original release in 1919, under a different title, Fatty's Bubble Trick. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
