This is reel 3 of a film actually called “Conductor 1492” which was made in 1929. I don’t know what the other reels are like, but if they’re anything like the 3rd one, we're in for a real treat as the reel has all sorts of comedy, chases and drama packed into it's 15 min time frame. A fire starts in a doll factory! A little boy sees this and runs to his grandpa, because a special doll is inside! The grandpa sneaks in and tries to get the doll! Meanwhile, his son learns about the fire and races to the fire (in his son's hot looking mini-car) to rescue him! But wait, there are villians too…
