It was one of Keaton's early talking pictures, released in the aftermath of his silent career. The film was released in the United Kingdom as Romeo in Pyjamas. It is the remake of a 1920 film of the Parlor, Bedroom and Bath (1920 film), based on the play by Charles William Bell, a Canadian criminal lawyer and later Member of Parliament for Hamilton West (electoral district) and Mark Swan, which opened on Broadway in New York City on Christmas Eve, 1917 and ran for 232 performances.
Parlor, Bedroom and Bath was filmed in Keaton's own house. According to a modern source, Eugene Pallette, who starred in the Parlor, Bedroom and Bath (1920 film), was believed to have been part of the production team of this film, though he was not a member of the cast.

Plot

Reginald Denny (actor) plays the role of Jeffrey Haywood, who wants to get married to Virginia Embrey (Sally Eilers). However, Virginia used to marry unless her older sister, the hard-to-please Angelica (Dorothy Christy) gets married first. Angelica, in turn, finds every man she knows too dull and predictable, and for this reason pers to stay single. Jeff then tries to make Angelica interested in the mild-mannered and timid Reggie Irving (played by Keaton) passing him off as a notorious playboy to intrigue her. He asks his friend Polly to teach Reggie "how to treat a woman right", but he turns out to be a disastrous learner.
