The "bounding rope wonder" is assisted by a "pretty, saucy-shaped brunette in red satin nickerbockers" who "whistles like a boy through parted lips and teeth, the nicest way in the world for a girl with a pretty mouth to whistle." Lloyd is astounding on the tight-rope as he somersaults through hoops. He also plays the violin whilst in the air. He even somersaults without disrupting his playing. He further appears on the ropes blindfolded.
