Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dissatisfied with the new director, all employees of a large motion picture enterprise decide to go on a strike. In spite of entreaties they leave the studio in a body, thinking to cripple the concern. But the ingenious director was prepared for every emergency, and by means of a wonderful electrical invention demonstrated his ability to stage an entire production without the aid of human assistance. Automatically the stage is prepared for a scene while furniture fittings and decorations mysteriously take their proper places. Mechanically perfect artists appear before the camera and enact the drama. In short the picture is finally made in time for release on the advertised date.
