Jerry on the Job: The Bomb Idea (1920)

A man scanning the paper learns that Bolsheviks are stirring up trouble, and the public should stay alert to suspicious behavior. He notices a stranger with a pipe clutching what looks like a bomb, instantly convinced he's one of the agitators. Panic grips him as the man appears to trail him, calmly buffing the device and preparing to ignite it. Yet that round object turns out to serve a far more playful purpose—its explosion promises amusement rather than mayhem.
