Description:

Man in top hat enters office through window and dances around, followed by another carrying sack which he drops on the floor. They signal to each other to be silent. Second man continues safe cracking. First man walks to door of office, which he opens. He returns quickly and both hide behind safe. Third man enters wearing bib and brace overalls, cavorts over to safe which he opens with ease. He appears to clean the safe (which is empty) inside, shuts the door and exits carrying cleaning pail. First two who have watched this behaviour from behind the safe now, with much melodrama, collapse in disbelief into each others arms.
