Legless man does tricks with a water tank. A reel of film precedes him that shows some of his activities. He holds his breath under water for 2 minutes and 10 seconds.
After the sheet is taken up, a small-sized tank appears, with Mr. Zimmerman rolling in, taking the rollers off, going up to the top of the tank, and after that doing the usual tricks in the water. One that was not of the usual kind was the imitation of a man drowning through cramps. It wasn't edifying. The turn is purely a freak one. It's up the manager of a strictly vaudeville theatre whether he plays it.
