Charlie walks by on second level and trips on nail. Worker #1 Walks on the elevator and it goes to second level just in time so that Charlie falls on barrel in elevator. Charlie discovers a burning stick on the barrel when he sits on it. He passes it up to the boss and the boss grabs it by the burning end and drops it down on Man #1 on the first floor. Worker #2 steps on the elevator and it goes down. Charlie stands up just in time and picks up a hammer. He hammers in the nail and goes back to where the barrel was and sits down. The elevator comes back up just in time. He stands back up and sits on the ground. Man #2 places his lunch on the elevator just as it comes back down. As soon as he lets go the elevator goes next to the hungry, lunch-less Charlie. Charlie takes the contents out which are a BIG loaf of bread and a sausage. He drills a hole in the bread and stuffs the sausage in. The loaf is too big so he takes a corkscrew and pulls out the sausage. He puts the bread down on the elevator and pulls the sausage off the corkscrew. The elevator goes down with the bread and Man #2 takes it. The elevator goes back up and Charlie cant find the bread so he eats the sausage plain. Man #2 is looking for his sausage when the elevator starts descending and his head is underneath it. Man #2 pulls his head out just in time.
