Long-shot of eight comedians in black face performing comedy sketch. Seven of the troupe are dressed as schoolchildren, the other being the school master, and sit on chairs in a line on the stage. The sketch consists mainly of the `teacher' chasing one of the 'children' around the chairs.

Troupe perform as black-faced minstrels, wearing striped jackets and white flannels, with ten sitting in line on chairs, while two perform a dance routine in front of them. Behind the seated minstrels are five musicians, wearing same costume, and playing piccolo, trumpet, violin, harp, and a double bass with a bow. The two minstrels on the ends of the seated line both hold tambourines, but remain motionless throughout the routine, as do the other seated minstrels.
