Having selected a stylish and heavy brass article, he returns, followed by a workman, who is to hang it up immediately, for our friend has things done at once if he has to have them done at all. Arriving on the premises, the workman starts to bore a hole in the ceiling with a tremendous wimble, and we will leave him at his work showering the whole family with plaster dust, to go for a few minutes to the upper floor. There a fat old gentleman is endeavoring to put his boots on, and as he is too stout to bend from a chair, he sits on the floor and has nearly succeeded in his attempt when he gives a terrible cry of pain and distress as he endeavors to rise. Alas! He is fastened to the floor by a fiendish demon, who gnaws at his vitals like a hungry wolf, and won't let go of his struggling prey. The cries of the old gentleman arouse the whole neighborhood, including the fire brigade, and they all come to the rescue. Upon pulling up the fainting man from his place of torture they find out that the lamp hanger has gone too deep in the ceiling with his wimble, and the sharp tool has been trespassing on private property in the room above. They all rush back to the lower room and kick the clumsy workman out of the house, sending his tools tumbling down after him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
