Synopsis

Warning: screenonline full synopses contain 'spoilers' which give away key plot points. Don't read on if you don't want to know the ending!

On a stage, two acrobats wearing dinner jackets and tights stand either side of three barrels. They remove their jackets. One jumps in and out of the barrels. The other hops in and out, upsetting one barrel in the process. One leaps into a barrel on a table, then somersaults out. Both blindfold themselves either side of a table on which is balanced another table with a barrel on top. They leap into barrels at floor level, then onto the first table (incomplete).
