This chap thinks he can do the same, and he hies himself off to buy a pair of stilts. Of course, the moment he gets on he gets off quicker; he tries again, and again takes a nice fall, but he is bound to master them no matter what it costs. He now starts on his fearless way. His first victims are a young lady and gentleman, whom he immediately falls over, smashing the gentleman's nice new hat. He next encounters a fruit stand, which he immediately falls into, scattering the apples, oranges, bananas, etc. A crockery stand he falls into next, and, of course, all the dishes are broken into a thousand pieces. He next happens to walk in front of the window of a butcher who is exhibiting spring chickens, and the stilt walker stumbles and falls through the glass. Of course, the chickens escape with the two butchers running after them. He next tries to look into a window and a couple of boys pull the stilts from under him, and he shoots through the window into a tub of water, which the scrublady in the kitchen is using for the purpose of scrubbing the floor. The scrubwoman grabs him from the tub and throws him out of the window again, and he resumes his journey on his stilts. After causing several other mishaps of a comical nature, we find him peacefully walking in front of a show window full of dogs. He falls into this window, and you can imagine what happens. One bulldog, not liking the idea of being disturbed, immediately seeks revenge by grabbing hold of his trousers. The picture closes with the bulldog swinging on the pants of the now exhausted stilt walker. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
