Synopsis
Biograph summary: This is probably as clever a comedy picture as has ever been worked out in moving photography. The scene is laid in a street excavation, where three Irishmen are at work making ready for a blast. As the scene opens, one of the men is holding a drill, while two others are driving it. Having completed the preparations, one starts off with a red flag to warn passers-by; the second goes off to a safe distance, and the third inserts the dynamite cartridge and lights it. The cartridge, however, explodes prematurely, blowing the Irishman high into the air, with a mass of rocks and debris. He falls back to earth apparently lifeless; his comrades run up to him thinking to find him dead. To their amazement, however, he gets up absolutely unhurt, and laughingly accepts their congratulations on his escape. Every detail of this picture is admirably worked out.
