He will try anything once, and if he isn't thrown out, he'll try it again. He gets a job as an electrician's helper. Now our hero knows just about as much about electricity as the ancient Egyptians knew about the Charleston. But, as said before, he is willing to learn. He is taken out on his first job after an apprenticeship in the store. Luckily nothing more serious happened in the store than the breaking of a gross of bulbs and turning on the "juice" in an electric gridiron just when the boss had his hand on it. But those are little things. At the house where Estelle lives and where he is trying to make a big hit, he makes his first serious blunder. He connects a line carrying high voltage -22,000 of them-into the house circuit and then things begin to happen. First, the electric sweeper creates such a vacuum that things disappear right in front of him. Then the radio swells up and bursts. But when the piano begins to play and all the strings and keys jump out, that is the last straw. The boss knows something is wrong and orders Lloyd to the cellar to inspect the meter. Lloyd tinkers with the meter until he short-circuits it and then there is a big explosion which leaves nothing of the house standing except the doorway. Lloyd then knows he has made a slight error somewhere, so after courteously bidding the owner a pleasant good-day, he bows his way out of the door and is on his way, once more a private in the army of jobless.
