The Trapeze Artist

Krazy comes to watch the circus with a female mink. The act being performed is the flying trapeze. Because their seats are on a balcony, the trapeze can get close to them. And because of this, the acrobat flirts and momentarily takes the mink. While the mink and the acrobat are swinging together, Krazy, who is quite annoyed, conjures a huge needle. Krazy pricks the acrobat in the rear which cause that performer to fall off the bar. Krazy, however, gets arrested by two cops who witness his deed.

Krazy is taken to a courthouse. But instead of charging him, the judge calmly tells him he cannot do what he did.

Back in the circus, the acrobat and the mink are still swinging together. The mink, for some reason, becomes fed up with him, and therefore pushes him off the trapeze. Upon dropping on the safety net, the acrobat gets catapulted for a few miles.

In the courthouse, Krazy is still standing around, attending the session. In no time the acrobat, after a long airborne trip, falls through the roof and into the room. Upon getting back up, the acrobat takes a large piece of lumber, and aims to assault Krazy. After some chase, the acrobat crashes and gets stuck in the judge's desk. Krazy, using a shovel from the room, scoops some burning coals from a stove and pours them into the acrobat's trousers. The acrobat runs hysterically, and even carries away the judge. Momentarily the mink comes to the scene and hugs Krazy.
