Playing With Fire

Jeff lights up his cigar in their lounge room. His mishaps with the match begins when he drops it on the carpet, and the fire grows. Mutt tried to smother the fire but to no avail. Mutt then darts out from their house to flag down a fire truck. At end of the film, Mutt returns back home and spots Jeff fighting the fire desperately, but still seemingly failed. Then the crazy 'human-like' fire begins to attack at Mutt, burning off all his his clothes.

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

Silent cartoon. Once considered a lost film, a nitrate print was recently found, bringing the total of recovered Mutt and Jeff cartoons to eleven (of a total of over three hundred produced).
