Notes:
- 1. This was the second half of a spit reel, itself comprising two stories (this and PROTECTING SAN FRANCISCO FROM FIRE). Nothing was salvageable from the first film, and the beginning of this was also deteriorated. Damage at the head is severe for approx. 150 feet only. This reel was originally shipped to the United States for conversion, but returned to Canada in 1983 and converted here.
- 2. Given the 90-year rule, the copyright on this title has expired.
