Synopsis

The merry housewife, Mary Jane, starts her day early in the morning by doing her myriad domestic chores. After using pitch-black boot polish as a makeshift make-up, the reckless servant sets her mind on starting a fire--and when all else fails--Mary grabs a paraffin can, pours liberally on the seemingly extinguished fire, and out the chimney she goes. Will her untimely demise be a warning to all kerosene lovers?
