On the Fire is a 1919 American short comedy film featuring Harold Lloyd.
Harold and Snub are chefs in an upscale restaurant.
Harold, an idler, does many of his cooking tasks using pulleys, long-handled implements, and other gadgets so he does not have to leave his chair.
When a customer orders a seafood dinner, and Harold tries to catch fish from the restaurant's fountain for it, he is reassigned from the kitchen to become a waiter.
Trying to favor the female diners at the tables, Harold quickly runs afoul of the customers.
