Schultz the Paperhanger (1914)

The paperhangers, led by fat Mac, go on a strike and the boss of the paint shop is left singlehanded. There is a big job in re-papering the reception room of a swell residence and no one to do it. The boss hangs out a sign. Hungry Schultz sees it, applies and is accepted. Once in the beautiful drawing-room he loses no time in getting busy. He knocks over vases. He wipes his be-pasted hands on the Oriental portieres. He climbs upon the piano, but the paper will not stick to the wall. As a climax to his misfortunes the piano topples over and pins Schultz beneath it. The lady of the house discovers the wreck the scab paperhanger has caused. She orders the butler to throw him out. Schultz falls into the hands of the striking paperhangers. However, he eats that night, bread and butter handed to him through the cell door by the jailer.
