A very wise inventor has perfected an electric device whereby he can control the velocity of everything in sight when he turns the crank attached to the box in which the wonderful apparatus is encased. The first picture Hire shows him in the laboratory after completing the machine, and when he turns the crank the girls who have been assisting him start to work with lightning rapidity and disappear from the room like a shot out of a gun. He goes into the street and everything that he comes in contact with moves like wildfire when he turns the handle. We see two men coming leisurely down the street and a nurse maid pushing a perambulator, when suddenly they start in all directions and are soon going at breakneck speed till out of sight. A slow bill poster docs his work in a second and is off, some men working leisurely putting up a bunting, a crowd of laborers working on the street, all feel the power of the wonderful electric machine. And work and run around like lightning when the man appears on the scene and turns the handle. A very funny incident takes place on a crowded thoroughfare when he appears. Every vehicle and pedestrian is seen flying along with the velocity of a cyclone, while he coolly stands and amusingly views the situation. Finally, he sits on a bench in a park and a mischievous boy gets it and starts to turn the crank, and immediately we see the owner take flight and start down the street, and disappear in the distance, while the little fellow walks off with his wonderful machine.
