He Would Fix Things

Directed by Ashley Miller
1913    8mShort, Comedy
Mr. Buttinsky is a very benevolent sort of a chap and in trying to help his neighbors and friends who are in trouble gets into a lot of trouble himself. He nearly wrecks the automobile of one of his friends by pounding on a cylinder. Later coming upon a young man talking to his sweetheart at the gate, Buttinsky enters into the conversation and accompanies them into the house. Like a bugle call to his chivalrous soul he stops the leak in a water pipe by placing his hand in the hole and tells the family to send for a plumber. The plumber, who was born with humorous tendencies, instead of stopping the flow of water immediately, goes into the cellar and smokes his pipe. He at length turns the water off and returns upstairs to find Buttinsky about exhausted from fatigue. The astonishment of Buttinsky is supreme when he finds upon removing his hand from the leak that water no longer flows.
