Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Bob comes to wire the Schultz house for a tango party. Between love matches with the fair Louise he manages to get a few lines of wire attached to the chandelier, having first carefully thrown off the switch. Papa interrupts a kiss and throws Bob out, saying he will finish the wiring himself. Meanwhile an agent is showing the cook the value of an electric iron. It doesn’t get hot and he discovers the open switch. Closing it, the maid leaves the iron on top of Louise’s dress while she flirts with the agent. The butler objects. Papa is having his troubles. Working with the wires when the current was turned on, he finds he cannot let go. He is rescued by Bob after promising his blessing.
