Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Felix goes to work on the fatal morn that is the time setting of this film. He finally gets to his work after taking a forced ride on a moving “dolly.” His work for that day consists of shingling a roof belonging to Tad. He goes to work and makes a mess of the whole affair, and then gets into a quarrel with Tad and his two boys. He finally sets fire to the house and then when it all collapses is thrown into the nearby river. But that is not the end, as he manages to throw the whole tribe of Tad into the river for revenge. This is not all that happens in this little comic classic, but in any case it is enough to know that in the end Felix comes to grief.
