Fred sends his wife over to buy a pair of skates. Pretzel informs her he has none for sale. When Fred shows Pretzel the skates he has for sale. Pretzel immediately buys a pair, and, running after Fred's wife, sells her the pair. She skates around the village. Soon a skating epidemic hits the town. Business is so good that Fred proposes to Pretzel that they start a skating rink, Pretzel to furnish the money. A rink is started. To bolster up business an exhibition skating contest is given, in which Pretzel does fancy skating. Money pours in. Pretzel is delighted, but seeing Fred skating with the girl, he decides to make him mind the box office while he skates with her. This suits Fred. While Pretzel skates, Fred fills his pockets from the receipts and giving the girl the signal, prepares a getaway. Fred and his wife jump into an automobile and start for the station, the skaters following. Pretzel overtakes the auto, and, catching behind, is dragged up to the station as the train pulls in. Fred and his wife rush to the train. Pretzel tries to get to his feet, but the skates keep slipping from under him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
