Fire! Fire! Fire! (1911)

Overview

The local organization of Suffragettes is in session. Its motto is "Equality with Men." It passes a resolution to demand from the mayor a job in one of the city departments. "Just in time," says the mayor, "the fireman have gone on stroke. I give your organization charge of the fire department." The Suffragettes are elated, but the firemen can only construe this latest order of the mayor as a huge joke, so if a joke is to be played, they're going to be in it, too.
