We see a trio of men working an anvil. Halfway through the film, they decide to take a break and pass a beer bottle around. Then it is back to work again. This is by far not the only film concentrating on the work of blacksmiths in the early days of cinema. Looks like it's a recurring theme that kept attracting filmmakers. I'm not sure how much these men were actual blacksmiths or actors playing the part.
In any case, this movie was deemed significant enough to be introduced into the American National Film Registry 102 years after its release. Unfortunately I have to disagree. I've seen several films shortly before or afterward that would have been more deserving of the honor, but were neglected.
