Jinks Wants to Be an Acrobat

• Watchlist

An evening at the vaudeville show makes Sammy ambitious to become an acrobat, He chooses the street as being the most convenient place to commence in, and every possible means of practicing is utilized by him, often with the most disastrous results. The wares displayed outside a china store are smashed, a pile of cans are brought to the ground, and innumerable other accidents of a minor nature occur. Ultimately, whilst balancing above an empty tub, Sammy falls inside and rolls down a flight of steps. He picks himself up unhurt, however, and a few minutes later is balancing himself on the bonnet of a standing motor ear. Unfortunately the automobile starts off, and Sammy, with his legs kicking in the air, is borne wildly through the streets. People are knocked over and a general panic ensues, until the car, dashing into a store, comes to a standstill.
