On Strike

This film alternates between the animated characters and "real life" action. The characters Mutt and Jeff decide to go on strike when they discover their animator, Bud Fisher, was making vast amounts of money from their hard work. When Fisher refused them 75% of the profits and a 3 hour, 5 day week, Mutt and Jeff decide to make their own cartoon- titled "A Thrilling Rescue." They then show their first reel to the public in a cinema.

Mutt (Augustus J. Mutt), Jeff (Edgar Horace Jeff)
