The act was sixteen minutes long.
The sketch focuses on a young millionaire whose father has left him in charge of his mills. One of the mills then goes on strike. The millionaire then runs over a young woman on his way home on a stormy night and fails to stop. A suffragette who is allied with the mill blackmails the young man, and insists that she will reveal his crime if he does not call off the strike. He does.
The woman is particularly impressive in her role and the man's voice carries to "every corner of the house."
