(The Michael Blake book on Chaney states that Joseph De Grasse both produced and directed the film himself, and that George Felix just starred in it.
He is assigned to shingle a roof on a house by the river belonging to Tod (Lon Chaney).
Felix goes to work, but one accident after another occurs, and he ends up destroying the roof instead of repairing it.
He gets into a fight with Tod and his two sons, and they accidentally set fire to the house which winds up collapsing into the river.
George Felix directed and heads the cast himself, cavorting about in what is termed a scenario by Harry Wulze."
