An idea strikes him as he passes a store where fireworks are sold. Procuring a lot of Roman candles, etc., he mounts the roof and holds the sputtering torches in front of the telescopic lens, at the same time throwing a stone through the skylight.

Papa must give his consent or be exposed as a fraud. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
