The act entitled “Fixing the Furnace” was sixteen minutes long. A woman (Mae Gerald) leads the plumber (George Rolland) and his helper (Billy Kelly) downstairs to fix the coal heater. The plumber is “roughly made up”, while the helper wears a fur overcoat. The setting is a cellar with a “well made” prop furnace.
The finish doesn't close the sketch as well as it should.
