The tops of some buildings are visible in the background. The camera was elevated several stories above the ground. In the immediate foreground, close to the camera position, is a cable that has been stretched across the amusement park midway from the tops of the buildings. Someone hanging by the teeth from a pulley on the wire approaches the camera and the film ends. Novelty act.

This picture is very notable from the fact that at the end of the scene, after the run-by of various engines and hose wagons, an engine was forced out of its course into the Biograph camera, smashing it to bits. The negative was saved out of the wreck and presents a remarkable photographic illusion, inasmuch as one who looks at it gets the effect at the end of the picture, of a fire engine at full tilt dashing directly toward him.
