[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine reviews,[4] The Great Maranelli, who does a head slide on a wire for a circus, is forced to give up this work.

He also instructs one of his henchman to wreck the plant used to furnish light for the opening night of the park.

An incomplete print of The Live Wire is held by the Library of Congress and George Eastman Museum Motion Picture Collection.
