The videoclip includes two short silent films, directed by Edwin S. Porter, produced in Edison Studios.
"Kansas Saloon Smashers", 1901. A gilded saloon, with a fancy bar, forms the background. A nobby bartender with white coat and apron is dispensing drinks to customers. Behind him are polished plate glass mirrors. A comical Irishman enters, sets a huge pail on the bar to be filled, and while he is drinking a glass of foam beer, Mrs. Nation and her followers enter with their hatchets...Full of comedy from start to finish.
" Why Mr. Nation Wants a Divorces", 1901, by the Edison Manufacturing Company was a followup to their film, Kansas Saloon Smashers--a short that supposedly featured Carrie Nation destroying a saloon. This first film was just okay, but Why Mr. Nation Wants a Divorce is pretty funny--a nice followup to the dry first film.
The scene opens in the bedroom of Mr. Nation, husband of the famous Carrie Nation, the "Kansas Saloon Smasher." Mr. Nation suddenly arises from the bed and picks up a crying infant from the cradle, and walks it up and down the floor. He suddenly steps upon a tack, becomes infuriated, and throws the baby back into the cradle. A small boy in the bed next demands his attention. The overworked husband becomes exasperated, and seizes a bottle of whiskey just as Mrs. Nation enters. She is horrified at the sight of her husband drinking from a bottle. She smashes the bottle on the floor, turns her husband over her knee and spanks him soundly.
