A workman, in adjusting his long woolen belt, has great difficulty in getting it tight enough. His neighbors and family both fail to give the desired aid. Disgusted, he leaves the house to find a means of drawing the belt tight enough to please him. He ties it to a scaffold on which men are at work and brings them to the ground. A tree is uprooted by his efforts. A huge delivery wagon with large horses is pulled backward in his frantic trials at making his belt tight. All of the many objects to which he fastens one end of the belt in order to draw it closely about him are moved from their foundations, until he attaches it to the windless of a dray. On this occasion he is drawn up to the wheel and carried away.
