Andre Deed in one of his early appearances as Boireau in this crude slapstick played at a breakneck pace. It probably amused filmgoers in the early days of cinema, but there's little of comic value to be found in the fragment that survives today.

Jim's mother brings him to an architect's office to secure a position for him, and he is accepted. After clinging lovingly to his ma, he is induced to abandon his strangle hold, and he is taken into the drafting room. Here two clerks make merry with him, but he managed to even matters unconsciously by leaning on the heavy end of a table, upsetting it and all on it. Now his employers tell him to carry a set of plans, papers and instruments, with which he is to accompany them to a building. In the course of construction, Jim reaches to the top of a closet for some of the papers, upsets it, breaks some more furniture and finally reaches the street, struggling under a mass of paraphernalia, with which he strews his path as he goes. After a series of mishaps he finally reaches the house, where he climbs the ladder after his employers; suddenly he loses his footing in the scaffolding and goes tumbling down into a bed of lime. Again he clambers up, slipping, wriggling and falling, but when he reaches the top once more he again goes to the bottom, his aerial flight ending in a big vat of water. But Jim sticks to the job; his employers drag him out, admonish him to be careful and take him up again. Right near him is a chute by means of which mortar is loaded on wagons: Jim now attempts to step over it, loses his balance, and goes shooting the chute, into the mortar in the wagon. When the load is on the vehicle it starts away, with Jim buried in it. The employers, meanwhile, miss their boy, and go in pursuit of the wagon. They overtake it just in time to see the mortar dumped out, and Jim emerges, looking for all the world like a statue of molten mortar.
